What is sepsis?
“
Sepsis is a physiological syndrome of inadequate blood flow to critical organs that happens as a result of severe infection,” says
Keith W. Roach, M.D., internist at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
This life-threatening condition affects more than 1.5 million people in the U.S each year, where approximately 250,000 of those patients die from it,
states the CDC. In most cases, there are four types of infections that can cause sepsis: gut, skin, kidney, and lungs.
