Sepsis – Timely Diagnosis & Critical Care by Dr. Praveen M P

Sepsis is a life-threatening medical condition caused by the body’s extreme response to infection, leading to widespread inflammation and potential organ failure. Dr. Praveen M P provides specialized care in the identification, management, and treatment of sepsis with a focus on early intervention and patient-centered critical care.

Sepsis can arise from infections like pneumonia, urinary tract infections, abdominal infections, or bloodstream infections. Prompt diagnosis and timely treatment are essential to prevent the progression to severe sepsis or septic shock, which can significantly increase the risk of mortality. Dr. Praveen conducts thorough clinical assessments, blood tests, imaging studies, and other diagnostic evaluations to quickly identify the source of infection and assess organ function.

The treatment plan includes antibiotic therapy, infection source control, fluid resuscitation, oxygen therapy, and critical care monitoring. For patients with severe sepsis or septic shock, advanced supportive care such as ventilator support, vasopressors, and intensive monitoring may be required. Dr. Praveen ensures evidence-based, protocol-driven management to stabilize patients and improve recovery outcomes.
