The simulation traces how an infection focus releases inflammatory mediators that cause systemic vasodilation and capillary leak, driving falling blood pressure and progressive organ dysfunction across the body.
Set the infection severity and treatment delay sliders to see how quickly vasodilation, capillary leak, and organ dysfunction progress, and compare outcomes with early versus delayed intervention in the 3D view.
Sliders for infection severity and treatment delay, with a rotatable 3D view of vascular changes and organ dysfunction
Research on septic shock has shown that mortality increases measurably for every hour that effective antibiotic treatment is delayed after the condition is recognized, making speed of treatment one of the strongest predictors of survival.
