United States Statistics on Sepsis Sepsis Shout Out Objectives: Recognize early indicators of sepsis Differentiate between SIRS, Sepsis and Severe Sepsis Improve patient outcomes Decrease morbidity and mortality rates Decrease length of stay Decrease costs United States Statistics on Sepsis 750,000 cases per year 200,000 annual fatalities 11% to 27% of ICU admissions have severe sepsis {AHRQ 2008 Data}

Think Sepsis Infection – suspected or confirmed and 2 or more SIRS criteria below: Temp < 96.8 F or > 100.4 F RR > 20 HR > 90 WBC > 12,000 or < 4,000 Neutrophil Bands > 10% If Yes – Call Physician Immediately Early Recognition of the Signs and Symptoms along with Treatment are the Key. (Surviving Sepsis Campaign 2012)

Etiology of Progression SIRS Hypothermia / Fever Tachypnea Tachycardia WBC increased or decreased 2 or more SIRS criteria Evidence of Infection such as Positive Blood Cultures Pneumonia on CXR Other Radiologic or Laboratory Results Sepsis Sepsis with End-Organ Dysfunction Serum Lactate > 4 Altered Mental State Refractory Hypotension that does not respond to treatment Poor perfusion leading to all organ system shut down Severe Sepsis

Care Bundles TO BE COMPLETED WITHIN 3 HOURS: Measure lactate level 2) Obtain blood cultures prior to administration of antibiotics 3) Administer broad spectrum antibiotics 4) Administer 30 ml/kg crystalloid for hypotension or lactate ≥4mmol/L TO BE COMPLETED WITHIN 6 HOURS: 5) Apply vasopressors (for hypotension that does not respond to initial fluid resuscitation) to maintain a mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥65 mm Hg 6) In the event of persistent arterial hypotension despite volume resuscitation (septic shock) or initial lactate ≥4 mmol/L (36 mg/dL): --Measure central venous pressure (CVP)* --Measure central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2)* 7) Remeasure lactate if initial lactate was elevated* *Targets for quantitative resuscitation included in the guidelines are CVP of ≥8 mm Hg; ScvO2 of ≥70%, and normalization of lactate.
