SRES 832 is a Senate resolution supporting the designation of September 13, 2022, as National Sepsis Day to align with the international observance of World Sepsis Day. It highlights that sepsis causes approximately 270,000 deaths annually in the U.S. and emphasizes that early detection and treatment can prevent many fatalities.
