The review found that delays in her treatment breached national guidelines on sepsis management. The situation might sound very familiar to those in Ireland, and abroad, who followed the debate around Ireland’s abortion referendum in 2018. The recommendations from the coroner following her death were many, and included three that related directly to sepsis management, each of which was to be applied nationally. Her death arose due to failure to follow sepsis management protocols compounded by systematic overcrowding in hospitals, the latter being another factor that has been ignored in the clamour for abortion. It appears there is little publicity to be gained or appeal for wild celebrations when it comes to implementing the nuts and bolts of sepsis management.
