WASHINGTON, April 18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A bill named in memory of four-year-old Ana Lucía "Lulu" Haynes, who passed away from sepsis in 2014, has been reintroduced in the House of Representatives. It arrives ahead of next week's Pediatric Sepsis Week observance, which provides an annual opportunity to raise awareness of the symptoms of sepsis in children and honor the 75,000 children who, like Lulu, develop sepsis in the U.S. each year. The Sepsis Harm and Cost Reduction Act, or Lulu's Law, develops a U.S. strategy for responding to sepsis and launches a program of state-based information repositories to improve sepsis diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. This will help to answer the many unanswered questions about this condition, improve our ability to diagnose and treat it, and organize the country's strategy for solving sepsis. The legislation is championed by Sepsis Alliance, the nation's first and leading sepsis organization, and jointly sponsored by Representative Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ-11), who represents Lulu's district, and Representative Larry Bucshon, M.D. (R-IN-08).

Key Points: 
  • The Sepsis Harm and Cost Reduction Act, or Lulu's Law, develops a U.S. strategy for responding to sepsis and launches a program of state-based information repositories to improve sepsis diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.
  • According to Sepsis Alliance, children, particularly those under five, can be especially susceptible to developing sepsis.
  • "That's why, this Pediatric Sepsis Week, it is so heartening to see the reintroduction of Lulu's Law, a serious effort to tackle the enormous national burden of sepsis.
  • Sepsis Alliance applauds and sincerely thanks Representative Sherrill and Representative Bucshon for their leadership on this vital bill."
