Frequently Asked Questions
Sepsis is a life-threatening response to an infection that can cause organ dysfunction. Early recognition and prompt treatment are essential to reduce the risk of serious complications.
Signs may include fever or low temperature, fast breathing, rapid heart rate, confusion, extreme weakness, and reduced urine output. Symptoms can vary between adults and children.
Anyone can develop sepsis, but risk may be higher in older adults, infants, people with chronic conditions, weakened immunity, or recent surgery or hospitalisation.
Sepsis awareness helps healthcare workers recognise concerning symptoms early, understand risk factors, and escalate suspected cases promptly for clinical assessment and treatment.
Treat suspected sepsis as a medical emergency. Follow your workplace escalation procedures and seek urgent clinical assessment, as early intervention can be critical.
