A member asked:
Is recovery possible after sepsis/mechanical ventilation?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Depending on how severe the sepsis was/how many organ systems involved, recovery may be complete or partial. Of course, it also depends on other factors such as the patient's age and underlying medical conditions.

Yes: Severe sepsis with respiratory failure caries a high mortality (maybe 50% or so) but recovery is common but can take time to get back to the original level of function. A lot depends on other underlying conditions and complications of therapy.
