Objective: to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of community-acquired and hospital-acquired sepsis in an emergency department. Method: cross-sectional, descriptive, document-based study with a quantitative approach, approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Data from 143 medical records of patients hospitalized between January 2020 and December 2021 were analyzed using absolute and relative frequencies, mean, and dispersion. Results: Prolonged hospital stay was observed for hospital-acquired sepsis (≥7 days). Pulmonary infection stood out as the main source of community-acquired sepsis (68.6%), and invasive procedures, such as peripheral venous access (62.2%), were the most used. Conclusion: The need for effective and immediate interventions to reduce mortality related to this condition is reinforced. Understanding the origin of sepsis can help implement infection control measures in hospital settings, guiding important clinical decisions, allowing more effective monitoring of treatment response, and ensuring therapeutic efficacy.
