#bjac ,mr4 ,fitzpatrick submitted the   
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on ,oversight and    
,government ,reform  ,,resolution       
,expressing support for the designation 
of ,september #bjac as ,national ,sepsis
 and ,septic ,shock ,awareness ,month4  
,whereas sepsis is a medical condition  
that occurs due to an immune response to
 infection2 ,whereas the released immune
 chemicals into the blood to fight      
infection can cause impaired blood flow1
 which injures the body's organs2       
,whereas in severe cases blood pressure 
drops1 the heart weakens1 and septic    
shock can occur1 exposing the patient to
 multiple organ failure which can lead  
to death2 ,whereas sepsis is a serious  
medical condition and a leading cause of
 death2 ,whereas about #gej1jjj people  
in the ,united ,states are infected by  
sepsis annually2 ,whereas the ,national 

,institute of ,general ,medical         
,sciences at the ,national ,institutes  
of ,health has estimated that between   
#bh and #ej percent of people infected  
die1 attributing to more ,united ,states
 deaths than prostate cancer1 breast    
cancer1 and ,,aids combined2 ,whereas it
 is estimated that approximately        
#ag1jjj1jjj1jjj annually is spent       
combating sepsis in the ,united ,states2
 ,whereas the number of sepsis related  
deaths is currently on the rise in the  
,united ,states2 ,whereas many symptoms 
of sepsis mimic other conditions1 making
 sepsis difficult to diagnose2 and      
,whereas ,september #bjac would be an   
appropriate month to designate as       
,national ,sepsis and ,septic ,shock    
,awareness ,month to raise awareness and
 encourage the education of patients1   
families1 and health care professionals 
on the seriousness of early detection as
 the key to survival3 ,now1 therefore1  
be it  ,that the ,house of              
,representative supports the designation

 of ,national ,sepsis and ,septic ,shock
 ,awareness ,month4
