⚡#WorldSepsisDay: A Global Call to Action to Save Lives⚡ Today marks World Sepsis Day, a global initiative dedicated to raising awareness about #sepsis, a life-threatening condition that claims millions of lives each year. Sepsis arises when the body's response to infection causes injury to its own tissues and organs, potentially leading to organ failure and death. 🚨 #Antimicrobialresistance (#AMR) significantly complicates the treatment of sepsis: ⚓ #DrugResistant Infections: Sepsis caused by resistant pathogens leads to higher mortality rates. ⚓ Global Impact: In 2019, an estimated 4.95 million deaths were associated with AMR, including 1.27 million directly attributable to it. ⚓ Clinical Unresponsiveness: AMR can lead to ineffective treatments and rapid deterioration of the patient's condition. ❗If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, do not wait—seek medical attention immediately.❗ Together, we can make a difference. Raise awareness. Act fast. Save lives. Maneesh Paul. S., M.
