When our most important tools for treating sepsis stop working, lives are at risk.
Antimicrobials are losing effectiveness due to misuse and overuse, and an estimated 13% of sepsis deaths are now linked to antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

What does sepsis healthcare cost after discharge?
Chechulina et al. found that survivors cost around $28,719 in year 1, $22,460 in year 2, and have a readmission cost of $20,320.
6 of 7 studies showed survivors cost more than non-sepsis patients.

Up to 50% of sepsis survivors struggle with post-sepsis syndrome (PSS). PSS can present as a range of physical and psychological symptoms, including fatigue, breathing difficulty, reduced organ function, hallucinations, PTSD, and memory loss.

Any infection has the potential to turn into sepsis if it spreads into the bloodstream. Because every minute counts, it’s vital to know the symptoms.
Amalie is back to walk you through the warning signs and urges anyone who suspects sepsis to go to the emergency department right away.

This World Sepsis Day, 98 structures will illuminate pink across Canada to raise awareness of sepsis!
Not only does this break 2024’s record, but this year will also see the first illumination in one of Canada’s 3 territories. A key moment in raising awareness in the North.
