This video helped me a little bit. I was released from the hospital a month ago after an outpatient surgery that I ended up having malignant hyperthermia. They gave me dantrolene and rushed me from the clinic to the hospital and put me in a medically induced coma for several days. I was in ICU for a week and on main floor for another week due to infection and low pattasium levels. It does so much damage to the body that learning to do everything from breathing, to moving and sitting up all the way to walking is insanely hard and difficult to start your life back over again and get to the health you were in before all this happened.

Re:Sepsis - in cases of abdominal surgery, or other surgeries/traumas where the likelihood of systemic infection is high, why aren't antibiotics given prophylactically?

Antibiotics are given prophylactically to patients prior to going to the OR. This decreases the risk of infection post-op, but does not eliminate the risk completely. Also, using the wrong antibiotic to treat the wrong organism gives the risk for resistant organisms to evolve. Resistant organisms are harder to treat because they are not sensitive to common antibiotics. The usage of more toxic antibiotics must be used to treat these super infections. However, most of these "more toxic" antibiotics come with severe side effects and complications (liver, kidneys, etc).
