Understanding Sepsis: A Life-Threatening Condition
On World Sepsis Day, Vygon is taking action to raise awareness, inform, and take action.
Our mission: to guarantee rapid and secure access to care, because without access, there is no treatment. And without treatment, there is no life.
This year, the Global Sepsis Alliance is highlighting five essential truths and five urgent actions to combat sepsis:
Five facts:
- One person dies from sepsis every 2.8 seconds.
- There are 49 million cases each year.
- Forty percent of cases involve children under the age of five.
- Sepsis is often misdiagnosed
- Survivors can suffer serious sequelae
5 actions:
- Raise public awareness
- Train healthcare professionals
- Invest in prevention
- Promote early diagnosis
-
Ensure rapid access to treatment
The protocol is clear: fluids, antibiotics, vasopressors. But without vascular access, there is no treatment.
Who Is Most at Risk for Sepsis?
Sepsis is a potentially deadly condition that can affect anyone, but some groups are more vulnerable: older adults, children, people with chronic illnesses, immunocompromised individuals, and pregnant women. Recognizing these risk groups is crucial for early detection and treatment.
