Sepsis can affect anybody and should always be suspected if the symptoms are present. However, there are some individuals with a heightened risk of sepsis. They include:
• The elderly
• Infants
• Those with illnesses and injuries
• Sepsis survivors
[...]
• Pregnant individuals
• Those with immunodeficiencies
• Malnourished individuals
If you or someone you know falls into any of these categories, watch for sepsis symptoms whenever something doesn’t seem right!

“There’s a misunderstanding of what sepsis is and how dangerous it is.”
A pan-Canadian @CJEM study of 545 physicians, nurses & paramedics found:
🔹 88-93% of respondents supported sepsis guidelines, but awareness, trust in the evidence, and implementation varied by profession
🔹 Public awareness was a key barrier to early recognition
🔹 Practical point-of-care tools were favoured over education alone

Sepsis is far more common than most people realize, yet nearly 40% of Canadians have never heard of it.
Sepsis is hard to diagnose because its symptoms mimic other conditions, making it a true hidden emergency.
