Sepsis is the body’s overwhelming and life-threatening response to infection, which can lead to organ failure, tissue damage, and death. According to the Sepsis Alliance, sepsis is the leading cause of death in U.S. hospitals. Utilizing acronyms like IT’S ABOUT TIME™ can help you catch the signs and symptoms of sepsis and, in many instances, save lives.
