Our interactive sepsis checklists provide valuable information for both medical staff and the general public. They help to recognize signs of sepsis at an early stage and to take the necessary measures. There are two special checklists: one for adults and one for children, each addressing the specific risks and symptoms of the respective age group.
Sepsis checklist for adults
Individual risk of sepsis: factors that increase the risk of sepsis. Signs of illness: symptoms of infections that can lead to sepsis. Early signs of sepsis: signs that indicate the onset of sepsis.Emergency signs: symptoms that require immediate medical treatment.
Sepsis is a serious infection in which pathogens enter the bloodstream and can trigger an excessive reaction of the immune system. This can lead to organ damage and death if left untreated.
Sepsis checklist for children
The checklist for children is specially designed to meet the needs of newborns and children and provides information on: Risk factors: Special circumstances that increase the risk of sepsis in children. Early warning signs: Signs that indicate possible sepsis. Emergency signs: Symptoms that require immediate medical attention.
Newborns and children are particularly susceptible to sepsis. This checklist helps parents, caregivers and medical staff to react quickly to possible signs and take appropriate action.
