Treatment Surgery is sometimes necessary to remove infection-damaged tissue. Antibiotics should be administered to patients with sepsis as soon as feasible by doctors and nurses. Antibiotics are crucial tools for treating potentially fatal diseases such as sepsis. Doctors use different antibiotics to kill the bacteria that cause these infections. There are many different types of antibiotics, but they all work by stopping the growth of bacteria or killing them outright. It is important to choose an antibiotic that is appropriate for the type of infection being treated. Hospitals treat sepsis in two ways: actively and passively. Active treatment involves using medicines to try to cure the disease or reduce its severity. This is usually done along with other treatments such as surgery, mechanical ventilation (MV), and fluid replacement. Passive treatment means giving patients medications to control the symptoms caused by the disease. Active treatment for sepsis includes giving antibiotics to kill harmful bacteria. The goal is to get the patient's body back into balance after the severe inflammation caused by the infection.
