What are the treatments for sepsis?

  • Sepsis treatment typically involves antibiotics to fight the infection.
  • Intravenous (IV) fluids are administered to maintain blood pressure and hydration.
  • Medications may be used to increase blood pressure if fluids are not sufficient.
  • Supportive care, such as oxygen and dialysis, may be necessary for organ function.
  • In severe cases, surgery may be required to remove the source of infection.
