  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sepsis/symptoms-causes/syc-20351214

  Sepsis is a serious condition in which the body responds improperly to an infection. The infection-fighting processes turn on the body, causing the organs to work poorly. […] Sepsis may progress to septic shock. This is a dramatic drop in blood pressure that can damage the lungs, kidneys, liver and other organs. When the damage is severe, it can lead to death. […] Symptoms of sepsis may include: Change in mental status. Fast, shallow breathing. Sweating for no clear reason. Feeling lightheaded. Shivering. Symptoms specific to the type of infection, such as painful urination from a urinary tract infection or worsening cough from pneumonia. […] Symptoms of sepsis are not specific. They can vary from person to person, and sepsis may appear differently in children than in adults. […] Sepsis may progress to septic shock. Septic shock is a severe drop in blood pressure. Progression to septic shock raises the risk of death. Symptoms of septic shock include: Not being able to stand up. Strong sleepiness or hard time staying awake. Major change in mental status, such as extreme confusion.

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/12361-sepsis

  Sepsis is a life-threatening medical emergency caused by your body’s overwhelming response to an infection. Without urgent treatment, it can lead to tissue damage, organ failure and death. […] Sepsis can affect many different areas of your body, so there are many possible symptoms. […] Other common sepsis symptoms include: Urinary issues, such as reduced urination or an urge to urinate. Low energy/weakness. Fast heart rate. Low blood pressure. Fever or hypothermia (very low body temperature). Shaking or chills. Warm or clammy/sweaty skin. Confusion or agitation. Hyperventilation (rapid breathing) or shortness of breath. Extreme pain or discomfort. […] With quick diagnosis and treatment, many people with mild sepsis survive. Without treatment, most people with more serious stages of sepsis will die. Even with treatment, 30% to 40% of people with septic shock, the most severe stage of sepsis, will die.

  Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that happens when the bodys immune system has an extreme response to an infection, causing organ dysfunction. The bodys reaction causes damage to its own tissues and organs and it can lead to shock, multiple organ failure and sometimes death, especially if not recognized early and treated promptly. […] Common signs of sepsis include fever, fast heart rate, rapid breathing, confusion and body pain. It can lead to septic shock, multiple organ failure and death. […] Sepsis is a medical emergency. It can cause different signs and symptoms at different times. People who think they may have sepsis should seek medical care right away. […] Common signs and symptoms include fever or low temperature and shivering, confusion, difficulty breathing, clammy and sweaty skin, extreme body pain or discomfort, high heart rate, weak pulse or low blood pressure, low urine output. […] Symptoms in children include fast breathing, convulsions, pale skin, lethargy, difficulty waking up, feeling cold to the touch. […] In children under 5 years old, it can cause difficulty feeding, frequent vomiting or lack of urination.

  Sepsis is a life-threatening complication of an infection. […] Most people make a full recovery if it’s identified and treated quickly. Without quick treatment, sepsis can lead to multiple organ failure and death. […] It’s not always easy to tell if you are developing sepsis. There are lots of possible symptoms. Symptoms can be vague. They can be similar to symptoms of other conditions, including flu or a chest infection. […] Sepsis cannot develop unless you have an infection. […] If your GP thinks it’s sepsis, they will usually refer your baby or child to hospital for further diagnosis and treatment. […] If your GP thinks it’s sepsis, they will usually refer you to hospital for further diagnosis and treatment.

• #5 What Are the Three Stages of Sepsis? | Levin & Perconti

  https://www.levinperconti.com/nursing-home-abuse/sepsis/stages/

  Sepsis refers to a potentially life-threatening syndrome that triggers the body’s response to an infection, typically in the lungs, skin, or urinary or gastrointestinal tracts. […] In sepsis, immune chemicals in the bloodstream trigger inflammation, leading to blood clots and leaky blood vessels. When the blood flow is impaired, the lack of transport can impair needed nutrients and oxygen to internal organs. Without timely evaluation and intervention, sepsis morphs quickly and can lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death. […] The three stages of sepsis are: sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock. […] Sepsis can be hard to identify in its early stages, but common symptoms that show evidence of the disease during its first stage include: A high fever above 101°F (38°C) or low temperature below 96.8°F (36°C), A heart rate above 90 beats per minute, A bacterial infection, fungal infection, or viral infection confirmed through positive blood culture results, Rapid breathing rate higher than 20 breaths per minute.

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK430939/

  Sepsis syndromes span a clinical continuum with variable prognoses. Septic shock, the most severe complication of sepsis, carries a high mortality. […] This cascade of events is responsible for the clinical signs and symptoms of sepsis and progression from sepsis to septic shock. […] The ability to balance pro-inflammatory responses to eradicate the invading microorganism with anti-inflammatory signals set to control the overall inflammatory cascade ultimately determines the degree of morbidity and/or mortality experienced by the patient. […] Patients progressing to septic shock will experience signs and symptoms of severe sepsis with hypotension. […] With the progression of septic shock into the uncompensated stage, hypotension ensues, and patients may present with cool extremities, delayed capillary refill (more than three seconds), and thready pulses, also known as cold shock. After that, with continued tissue hypoperfusion, shock may be irreversible, progressive rapidly into multiorgan dysfunction syndrome and death. […] The more factors that match SIRS, the higher the mortality. Data suggest that tachypnea and altered mental status are excellent predictors of poor outcomes.

  Sepsis an extreme immune system response to an infection can lead to organ failure and death if the condition is not diagnosed and treated quickly. This medical emergency affects about 1.7 million adults in the United States each year. For the best outcome, its important to identify symptoms of sepsis early and get immediate medical care. […] Sepsis occurs when chemicals released by the immune system to fight an infection cause widespread inflammation in the body. This condition can happen to anyone who has an infection, whether the infection is bacterial, viral, or fungal. […] Most cases of sepsis are caused by a bacterial infection, and certain groups of people are at higher risk for this complication. This includes the elderly, children, and people who have a weaker immune system because of a chronic disease.

  https://www.everydayhealth.com/sepsis/symptoms/

  There are certain warning signs of sepsis. But despite these signs, some people dont receive medical treatment fast enough. […] With sepsis, your heart and breathing rate may increase. Many doctors use the Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) criteria when you arrive at a hospital or clinic to assess your risk and severity of sepsis according to the following: whether your body temperature is less than 96.8 degrees F or greater than 100.4 degrees F; if your heart rate is greater than 90 beats per minute; if you have a high respiratory rate (called tachypnea), with more than 20 breaths per minute; and other measures. […] Youll need to seek immediate medical help if you develop any of these symptoms, especially if you were previously diagnosed with an infection. […] Symptoms of severe sepsis include the above symptoms, as well as the following: Dizziness or fainting, Confusion, Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, Difficulty breathing, Cool or pale extremities, Loss of consciousness, Low urine output, Muscle pain, Slurred speech.

  https://www.news-medical.net/health/The-Stages-of-Sepsis.aspx

  Sepsis is a potentially fatal or life changing syndrome wherein the body responds to an infection with a systemic immune response. Many clinicians consider sepsis to have three stages, starting with sepsis and progressing to severe sepsis and septic shock. Septic shock is the most serious stage and presents patients with the worst survivability odds, some as high as 50% mortality. […] Sepsis can be hard to identify, but is typically denoted by a very high or low body temperature, high heart rate, high respiratory rate, high or low white blood cell count and a known or suspected infection. […] The second stage, called severe sepsis, is diagnosed when acute organ dysfunction begins. Severe sepsis can also be diagnosed when sepsis is present along with hypotension (low blood pressure) or hypoperfusion (decreased blood flow through an organ). Organ dysfunction is characterized by symptoms such as decreased urine output, sudden changes in mental state, decreased blood platelet count, difficulty breathing, abnormal heart pumping function and abdominal pain.

• #11 Azthena logo with the word Azthena

  https://www.news-medical.net/health/The-Stages-of-Sepsis.aspx

  Septic shock is the most severe stage of sepsis. It is defined as the presence of hypotension, induced by sepsis, despite fluid resuscitation. In addition, perfusion abnormalities such as elevated lactate levels. Septic shock has the highest chance of mortality, with estimates ranging from 30% to 50%. […] It is recommended to start treatment as early as possible once sepsis is detected to stop it from progressing. Studies have found that the severity of sepsis and its progression depends partly on the source of infection and type of infection. […] The stage at which sepsis is diagnosed also influences survival chances, as those initially clinically diagnosed with septic shock have an increased chance of dying within 28 days. Progression to severe sepsis and/or septic shock during the first week also increases chances of mortality.

  https://www.malmanlaw.com/malman-law-injury-blog/what-are-the-3-stages-of-sepsis/

  The first stage is known as sepsis or systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), occurs when the body’s immune system launches an overwhelming response to an infection. This initial stage is characterized by a variety of symptoms, including fever, increased heart rate, and rapid breathing. In some cases, the infection may be localized, such as in an open wound or a urinary tract infection, but it can also spread throughout the body. […] During the first stage of sepsis, the body begins to show signs of an immune response gone haywire. The immune system releases chemicals into the bloodstream to fight off the infection, but these chemicals can also cause wide-ranging inflammation throughout the body. This inflammation can damage organs and disrupt normal bodily functions, leading to further complications if not treated promptly.

  Depending on where the infection started, you would also have had other symptoms, for example, if you had pneumonia, you would probably have had a bad cough as well. As the sepsis progressed, your blood pressure might have become very low and this would mean that: Your organs will not have got enough blood and oxygen. This will have damaged the cells in the organs causing them to fail. The kidneys, lungs, brain and heart are particularly at risk from this. You won’t have needed to urinate (pee / mimi) as much as you normally do. You may have found it very difficult to breathe. Your skin may have darkened in patches and begun to blister. You may have become very confused and you might have become unconscious. You may have swollen up with fluid, which would have made you much bigger than your normal size and meant you looked very different. This might have been frightening for you and your family / whanau to see. This swelling happens because your blood vessels become leaky and fluid goes into the wrong places, and can leak out of your skin.

  Septic shock represents the most critical point of sepsis progression. It is profoundly life-threatening and has a high mortality rate. This occurs when severe sepsis leads to extremely low blood pressure that persists even after receiving substantial intravenous fluids. This critical blood pressure drops, severely limiting blood flow and oxygen delivery through blood vessels to vital organs, leading to multiple organ failure. The symptoms include those of severe sepsis, plus: Persistently and dangerously low blood pressure often requiring medications (vasopressors) to support it; Rapid, weak pulse (high heart rate); Significant difficulty breathing, potentially needing support from a ventilator (breathing machine); Persistent fever or hypothermia (very low body temperature) accompanied by chills; Cold, clammy, often pale or mottled skin; Little to no urine output (indicating kidney failure); Severe confusion, disorientation, or loss of consciousness; Coldness in extremities (fingers, toes, arms, legs).

  Septic shock is the most severe stage of sepsis. It is defined as the presence of hypotension, induced by sepsis, despite fluid resuscitation. In addition, perfusion abnormalities such as elevated lactate levels. Septic shock has the highest chance of mortality, with estimates ranging from 30% to 50%. […] It is recommended to start treatment as early as possible once sepsis is detected to stop it from progressing. Studies have found that the severity of sepsis and its progression depends partly on the source of infection and type of infection. […] The stage at which sepsis is diagnosed also influences survival chances, as those initially clinically diagnosed with septic shock have an increased chance of dying within 28 days. Progression to severe sepsis and/or septic shock during the first week also increases chances of mortality.

  As sepsis worsens or septic shock develops, an early sign, particularly in older adults or the very young, may be confusion or decreased alertness. Blood pressure decreases, yet the skin is paradoxically warm. Later, extremities become cool and pale, with peripheral cyanosis and mottling. Organ dysfunction causes additional symptoms and signs specific to the organ involved (eg, oliguria, dyspnea). […] Sepsis is suspected when a patient with a known infection develops systemic signs of inflammation or organ dysfunction. Similarly, a patient with otherwise unexplained signs of systemic inflammation should be evaluated for infection by history, physical examination, and imaging or laboratory testing. […] Overall mortality in patients with septic shock is decreasing and is about 20% (with a wide range, depending on patient characteristics). Poor outcomes often follow failure to institute early aggressive therapy (eg, within 6 hours of suspected diagnosis). Once severe lactic acidosis with decompensated metabolic acidosis becomes established, especially in conjunction with multiorgan failure, septic shock is likely to be irreversible and fatal.

  Sepsis refers to a potentially life-threatening syndrome that triggers the body’s response to an infection, typically in the lungs, skin, or urinary or gastrointestinal tracts. […] In sepsis, immune chemicals in the bloodstream trigger inflammation, leading to blood clots and leaky blood vessels. When the blood flow is impaired, the lack of transport can impair needed nutrients and oxygen to internal organs. Without timely evaluation and intervention, sepsis morphs quickly and can lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death. […] The three stages of sepsis are: sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock. […] Sepsis can be hard to identify in its early stages, but common symptoms that show evidence of the disease during its first stage include: A high fever above 101°F (38°C) or low temperature below 96.8°F (36°C), A heart rate above 90 beats per minute, A bacterial infection, fungal infection, or viral infection confirmed through positive blood culture results, Rapid breathing rate higher than 20 breaths per minute.

  Sepsis symptoms are a result of very low blood pressure and low blood flow to organs. You might have: Fever and chills, Rapid breathing, Trouble breathing, Confusion, Very low body temperature, Peeing less than usual or not at all, Fast heartbeat, Nausea and vomiting, Diarrhea, Fatigue or weakness, Sweating, Severe pain, Skin rash, Dizziness, Slurred speech, Unconsciousness, Skin, lips, or tongue are blue, grey, pale, or blotchy (on brown or black skin, this may be more visible on the palms of your hands or soles of your feet). […] Septic shock is the most severe risk of sepsis. It happens when your blood pressure drops dangerously low. If you have septic shock, you may: Have difficulty standing up, Feel extremely sleepy and have difficulty staying awake, Have extreme confusion or other problems with thinking. […] When you have sepsis, it’s likely that you’ll form what’s called a hemorrhagic rash. It’s a group of small blood spots that resemble pinpricks.

• #72 What Are the 3 Stages of Sepsis? – Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C.

  https://www.salvilaw.com/blog/sepsis-stages/

  Septic shock represents the most critical point of sepsis progression. It is profoundly life-threatening and has a high mortality rate. This occurs when severe sepsis leads to extremely low blood pressure that persists even after receiving substantial intravenous fluids. This critical blood pressure drops, severely limiting blood flow and oxygen delivery through blood vessels to vital organs, leading to multiple organ failure. The symptoms include those of severe sepsis, plus: Persistently and dangerously low blood pressure often requiring medications (vasopressors) to support it; Rapid, weak pulse (high heart rate); Significant difficulty breathing, potentially needing support from a ventilator (breathing machine); Persistent fever or hypothermia (very low body temperature) accompanied by chills; Cold, clammy, often pale or mottled skin; Little to no urine output (indicating kidney failure); Severe confusion, disorientation, or loss of consciousness; Coldness in extremities (fingers, toes, arms, legs).

• #73 Septic shock – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septic_shock

  Sepsis is one of the most common causes of death in critically ill patients in intensive care units. […] Septic shock is a potentially fatal medical condition that occurs when sepsis, which is organ injury or damage in response to infection, leads to dangerously low blood pressure and abnormalities in cellular metabolism. […] Patients with septic shock can be clinically identified by requiring a vasopressor to maintain a mean arterial pressure of 65 mm Hg or greater and having serum lactate level greater than 2 mmol/L (18 mg/dL) in the absence of hypovolemia. […] It can cause multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (formerly known as multiple organ failure) and death. […] The mortality rate from septic shock is approximately 25-50%. […] In septic shock, events within tissue capillaries induce distributive shock in which the recovery of blood pressure is not achieved upon the administration of additional intravenous fluids, and requires a vasoconstrictive agent such as noradrenaline and/or vasopressin.

  Sepsis is a serious condition in which the body responds improperly to an infection. The infection-fighting processes turn on the body, causing the organs to work poorly. […] Sepsis may progress to septic shock. This is a dramatic drop in blood pressure that can damage the lungs, kidneys, liver and other organs. When the damage is severe, it can lead to death. […] Symptoms of sepsis may include: Change in mental status. Fast, shallow breathing. Sweating for no clear reason. Feeling lightheaded. Shivering. Symptoms specific to the type of infection, such as painful urination from a urinary tract infection or worsening cough from pneumonia. […] Symptoms of sepsis are not specific. They can vary from person to person, and sepsis may appear differently in children than in adults. […] Sepsis may progress to septic shock. Septic shock is a severe drop in blood pressure.

  One recent study examined the rate of progression from systemic inflammation and sepsis to septic shock in hospitalized patients with suspected infections in whom cultures were obtained and empirical antibiotics were initiated afterwards. In this cohort, progression to septic shock occurred significantly faster in patients with sepsis (qSOFA 2) than in those with systemic inflammation or pre-sepsis (SIRS 2) with a median time of 11 h vs. 26 h, respectively. Moreover, there was a 4% increase in the risk of progression to septic shock with each 1-h delay in starting appropriate antibiotics. […] The identification of robust clinical and laboratory biomarkers that predict the rate of progression from pre-sepsis to sepsis and septic shock would be highly valuable.
