Chances of survival of patient with severely septic and septic shock?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not good: Cannot give you a number, but the prognosis is bleak. Depends on the age of the patient, cause for sepsis (what started the infection), co-morbidity (other diseases the patient might have-in this case pf sepsis, diabetes would be bad to have).
