sepsis.

people still die of sepsis.

Bacterial infection is a medical emergency. A person having sepsis should be treated in the hospital specifically in the intensive care unit. The patient will be placed on oxygen. The doctor will order medications depending on the tests results. Usually, antibiotics are given intravenously. Initially, a broad spectrum antibiotic is given, an antibiotic which can kill different kinds of bacteria because the specific bacteria type is still not known in this phase. If the blood results are released, a different antibiotic will be given which can kill the specific microbe.

Saline solutions and medications that increase the blood pressure are also given. If an infection in the abdomen is known, infection drainage through tubes or surgery may be done.

For the past 20 to 30 years, research for the treatment of sepsis has failed. A lot of medications that was thought to be helpful were determined to have no benefit. But scientists are working hard to discover a medication that would change the aggressive immune response of our body which leads to sepsis.
