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 activate your pathway
BP, HR, RR, O₂, output; labs & cultures per protocol.
Fluids, antimicrobials, source control per guidance.
Escalate concern clearly and immediately
Time is tissue—track every minute and act without delay
If no one is watching the clock—sepsis is winning.
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.
Activities & conversation starters.
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.
