Sepsis in the bowel is typically caused by a severe infection that leads to the release of harmful bacteria or toxins into the bloodstream. Common triggers include conditions like diverticulitis, bowel perforation, or inflammatory bowel disease, where bacteria from the gut can enter the bloodstream. Additionally, surgical complications or trauma can also introduce pathogens. The body's overwhelming immune response to these infections can result in sepsis, a life-threatening condition.

No, sepsis and septic shock are not the same thing. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to an infection causes widespread inflammation and organ dysfunction. Septic shock is a severe subset of sepsis characterized by a significant drop in blood pressure and inadequate blood flow to the organs, even in the presence of fluid resuscitation. Essentially, septic shock is a more critical stage of sepsis.
