 #aa1 #bjbd,mr4 ,schumer 7for himself   
and ,mr4 ,van ,hollen7 submitted the    
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on ,health1          
,education1 ,labor1 and ,pensions       
,,resolution  ,supporting the           
designation of ,september #ac1 #bjbd1 as
 ,national ,sepsis ,day4  ,whereas      
sepsis is a medical condition caused by 
a severe immune response to infection or
 traumatic injury2 ,whereas the         
overwhelming flood of inflammatory      
signals released into the blood to fight
 infection can impair blood flow1       
injuring the body's organs2 ,whereas    
sepsis is a serious infection and a     
leading cause of death and disability in
 the ,united ,states2 ,whereas severe   
sepsis can result in septic shock1      
exposing the patient to potentially     
fatal multiple organ failure2 ,whereas  
#a1gjj1jjj people in the ,united ,states

 are infected by sepsis annually2       
,whereas sepsis kills #cej1jjj people in
 the ,united ,states each year2 ,whereas
 sepsis is one of the most expensive    
conditions to treat in hospitals in the 
,united ,states1 with high spending     
compounded by frequent hospital         
readmissions1 including #a in #e patient
 readmissions within #cj days of        
discharge and #a in #c patient          
readmissions within #ahj days of        
discharge2 ,whereas1 according to the   
,centers for ,disease ,control and      
,prevention1 #hj percent of sepsis cases
 begin outside the hospital2 ,whereas   
most sepsis fatalities are preventable1 
and early recognition1 diagnosis1 and   
treatment of sepsis can prevent loss of 
life2 ,whereas the sepsis protocols for 
hospitals in ,new ,york ,state1 called  
,rory's ,regulations for ,rory ,staunton
 who died from preventable1 treatable   
sepsis at #ab years of age1 have been   
proven to save lives through rapid      
identification and treatment of sepsis2 

,whereas providers and public health    
experts should study and learn from     
,rory's ,regulations to find ways to end
 preventable deaths from sepsis2 and    
,whereas ,september #ac1 #bjbd1 would be
 an appropriate date to designate as    
,national ,sepsis ,day to coincide with 
the international designation of        
,september #ac as 8,world ,sepsis ,day01
 to raise awareness of the condition1 to
 encourage the education of patients1   
families1 health care professionals1 and
 government agencies on the seriousness 
of sepsis and the importance of early   
detection as the key to survival1 and to
 focus attention and energy towards the 
ultimate goal of ending sepsis3 ,now1   
therefore1 be it ,that the ,senate      
supports the designation of ,september  
#ac1 #bjbd1 as ,national ,sepsis ,day4
