#WorldSepsisDay is a reminder that knowing the signs of sepsis can save a life. Our new survey found that less than half of adults know what sepsis is, and only 8% know all the signs and symptoms. Sepsis is a life-threatening response to an untreated infection, and eight in 10 cases start outside of the hospital. It’s the #1 cause of hospitalization in the U.S., where someone dies from sepsis every two minutes. The S.E.P.S.I.S. acronym can help you remember signs and symptoms: S — Shivering, fever, or very cold E — Extreme pain or discomfort P — Pale, discolored, clammy, or sweaty skin S — Sleepy, confused, or disoriented I — “I feel like I might die” S — Shortness of breath Watch this video to meet sepsis survivor, Drew Bossi, and learn how quickly identifying sepsis symptoms saved his life.
