Dr. Susan Roberts: Eyes of Sepsis: A National Campaign for Early Sepsis Recognition
Sepsis can move quietly and quickly. Eyes of Sepsis™ turns urgency into instinct — training families and clinicians to see the signs early and act fast with CRUSH 33™.
Sepsis is a medical emergency. Delays in recognition and treatment drive worse outcomes — minutes matter. We replace hesitation with reflex so fewer lives are lost to silence. No paywall. No delay. Just action.
If you suspect sepsis: seek urgent care now and say “I’m worried about sepsis.”
Say “possible sepsis” and trigger your pathway.
BP, HR, RR, O₂, output; labs & cultures per protocol.
Fluids, antimicrobials, source control per guidance.
Close the loop and escalate for instability.
Reassess rapidly; move to higher care if needed.
Every child is a kernel with potential. Use the Popcorn Theory™ to teach that courage can grow under pressure — and that speaking up can save a life.
Printable checklist with early signs and emergency steps.
Teacher/parent prompts to help kids share when something feels wrong.

I pledge to recognize sepsis early, to speak up when the signs are present, and to act before the clock runs out.
Mission: Eyes of Sepsis™ exists to end the silence that steals lives. We turn urgency into instinct, awareness into action, and silence into a global rallying cry. Every eye opened to sepsis is a life saved.
Goal: A world where sepsis is never missed, never ignored, and never fatal because of delay — uniting clinicians, families, and communities to act with speed, precision, and accountability in the first critical minutes.
