In some cases, bacteremia leads to septic shock, a potentially life-threatening condition
The risk of developing septic shock can be minimized through treatment of underlying bacterial infections, and prompt attention to signs of bacteremia. In the hospital, scrupulous aseptic technique on the part of medical professionals lowers the risk.
Septic shock
Septic shock is not accidental death. Septic shock is a severe infection in the blood stream that causes illness and death.
Symptoms of bacteremia are fever, chills, mental confusion, anxiety, rapid heart beat, hyperventilation, blood clotting problems, and shock.

Cardiogenic, hypovolemic, or septic shock?
Sepsis or SIRS (Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) are other common names for the presence of pathogens in the bloodstream that cause systemic (whole body) symptoms of infection (septicemia), sometimes also referred to as being "septic". Depending on the severity and symptoms, it can also be called severe sepsis or septic shock. Bacteremia is presence of bacteria in the blood, but does not mean the same as septicemia since it is usually transient and usually clears from the action of the body's own immune system. Bacteremia does not indicate a systemic reaction or infection. A common lay term used is "blood poisoning".

Bacteria in the blood, known as bacteremia, can lead to sepsis, an extreme immune response that can cause organ failure, shock, and even death. Sepsis requires immediate medical attention and treatment with antibiotics. Detection and treatment of bacteremia are crucial in preventing severe complications.
