The unknown silent killer: sepsis – Op1

08 mei 2024

It is a silent killer and yet relatively unknown: sepsis. 10,000 people die every year from the disease formerly known as blood poisoning. Idelette Nutma and former PvdD MP Leonie Vestering barely survived sepsis. Together with ICU doctor and researcher Peter Pickkers, they join Op1 and draw attention to the erratic disease.

It kills 10,000 people every year: sepsis. And if you survive, the consequences are serious and complaints can last for years. Yet doctors are still not alert to the symptoms. ICU doctor and researcher Peter Pickkers knows that it is life-threatening. “It is a disease where time is very important. The hours count in the beginning.”
