Experts Warn Americans to Recognize Sepsis Symptoms

Despite affecting 1.7 million Americans annually and causing over 350,000 deaths, many are unaware of sepsis and its symptoms. Experts emphasize the importance of early recognition using the T.I.M.E. acronym—Temperature, Infection, Mental status, and Extremely ill feeling—to improve outcomes, especially since sepsis often begins outside hospitals and can be deadly if not treated promptly.
