Sepsis in the elderly<\/span><\/h1>\n

As we go through the ageing process, the immune system becomes less effective at fighting against infections. This results in older people contracting more infections that are often more severe. Every infection means those that are elderly are at a greater risk of developing Sepsis. This includes common infections that occur in the elderly, such as Peumonia and Urinary Tract Infections (UTI).<\/p>\n

The elderly also may develop chronic illnesses such as diabetes, kidney disease or heart failure which can make them more susceptible to Sepsis.<\/p>\n

Symptoms of Sepsis in the elderly include:<\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_column_text]

  • Heart beating faster than usual<\/li>\n
  • A change in body temperature that\u2019s too high or too low<\/li>\n
  • Rapid breathing<\/li>\n
  • Shaking<\/li>\n
  • Confusion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>[vc_column_text]” If an elderly person has any of these symptoms you must seek urgent medical attention. “<\/strong><\/em><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
