Recognising Sepsis Earlier: How One Clinical Decision Changed the Patient’s Outcome
Executive Summary
This case highlights the importance of recognising sepsis as a time-sensitive clinical emergency. An older adult presented with confusion, fever, weakness, hypotension, and tachycardia—features that raised immediate concern for systemic infection and possible septic shock. Early activation of a sepsis pathway, prompt investigations, timely antimicrobial therapy, fluid resuscitation, lactate monitoring, and early critical care involvement contributed to clinical stabilisation and recovery.
