Philadelphia, PA personal injury attorney Leon Aussprung M.D., ESQ. talks about some common errors leading to sepsis/infection. In treating infections, two critical factors are timeliness and the selection of the appropriate antibiotic. Time is of the essence, particularly when a patient is septic or hypotensive, as delays can significantly impact outcomes in sepsis cases. Furthermore, selecting the right antibiotic is vital since different infections may present with various symptoms and be caused by specific organisms. Depending on the identified organism, certain antibiotics are required, ranging from broad-spectrum options to targeted treatments for specific infections. Thus, timely intervention and accurate antibiotic selection are the two most important considerations in infection management.
