Marietta, Georgia Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys – Sepsis
As Georgia Nursing Home Abuse Attorneyswe have seen far too often the devastating effects of Sepsis. It is a life-threatening medical condition, especially in individuals who have long-term medical problems or weakened immune systems. Since many seniors in nursing homes already suffer from one or more health issues, sepsis can be especially devastating. This is why it is so tragic that sepsis can result from nursing home neglect.
Sepsis is a medical problem in which your body has a severe reaction to germs or bacteria, leading to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Sepsis results in a dramatic drop in blood pressure that can cause your body to go into shock. The lungs, liver, kidneys and central nervous system can also stop working properly when sepsis develops, meaning that a victim needs to get medical attention right away and usually should be admitted to the emergency or intensive care unit of a hospital.
If sepsis occurs in a nursing home setting, there is a good chance that the condition develops because the nursing home is failing to provide reasonable care. As such, if you or a loved one has developed sepsis in a nursing home, it is advisable to contact a Marietta, Georgia Nursing Home Abuse Attorney for help.

Marietta, Georgia Nursing Home Abuse and Sepsis Risk
Sepsis can develop as a result of bacterial infection in the body, which triggers a chemical reaction that leads to the characteristic drop in blood pressure. Some common areas of infection that can lead to sepsis developing include:
- Bedsores
- Surgical wounds
- IV lines
- Surgical drains
- The kidneys, especially in cases where an upper urinary track infection exists
- The bowels, especially when peritonitis is present
The risks of sepsis can be reduced and sepsis prevented by following precautions to prevent bedsores as well as by following proper hygiene procedures. Nursing homes have an obligation to provide reasonably competent care to their patients, and a nursing home that is neglectful in preventing infection or maintaining hygiene can become liable for the consequences of infection and sepsis. A Marietta, Georgia Nursing Home Abuse Attorney can help victims or their family members to determine when a nursing home may be considered legally responsible for sepsis.
Family members and nursing homes should also be aware of some of the common symptoms of sepsis so prompt treatment can be provided. These symptoms include chills, confusion, delirium, fever, light-headedness, shaking, rapid heartbeat, and skin that feels warm or develops a rash.
