  • September is Sepsis Awareness Month
September 15, 2022

As Mass Senior Care continues to promote Sepsis Awareness Month, we encourage members to utilize the resources below which can be used to educate staff about the signs and symptoms of sepsis. Signs and symptoms of sepsis include high heart rate, shortness of breath, extreme pain or discomfort, fever or shivering, sweaty or clammy skin, and confusion. When watching for sepsis, the Sepsis Alliance recommends staff remember the acronym TIME: temperature, infection, mental decline, and extreme illness.
