21. Hospital Day 1: Floors to ICU SubjectiveObjectiveAssessmentPlan Stable at the floors early in the AM Decreased responsiveness Restlessness BP: 160/60  90/60 HR: 100s RR: 40s O2 sat’n: 97%  88% + alar flaring + ronchi, rales Occasional wheezing Distended abdomen; soft, non-tender Normal rate, regular rhythm Distinct S1 No edema Full and equal pulses Flushed skin Severe septic shock secondary to ascending cholangitis secondary to biliary duct stricture s/p stent placement Hypertension Intubation Transfer to ICU Stat ERCP Antibiotics (Pip- Tazo  Linezolid and Imipenem)

22. Hospital Day 1 – Diagnostics CBC Hemoglobin = 132 g/dL Hematocrit = 0.37 Platelets = 224 WBC = 14.5 Neutrophils = 0.93 Lymphocytes = 0.06 Monocyte = 0.01 Urinalysis Color: Dark yellow Sp Gravity: 1.015 + erythrocytes, urobilinogen, bilirubin ABG pH = 7.382 pCO2 = 26.4 pO2 = 63.1 HCO3 = 15.7 BE = -7.1 O2 sat = 91.73 Others Hepatitis tests: non-reactive SGOT: 542.7 U/L ↑ SGPT: 636.8 U/L ↑ Alk Phos: 137.1 U/L ↑ Amylase: 126 U/L Lipase: 96.56 Potassium: 3.3 mmol/L

23. Hospital Day 1 – Diagnostics ECG Normal sinus rhythm Leftward axis Left atrial enlargement Non-specific ST-T wave changes No significant changes from 11/27/2010 Chest X-ray Subsegmental atelectasis, right Cardiomegaly Atheromatous aorta Thoracic spondylosis and dextroscoliosis Cardiac EnzymesCultures Stent and blood: Klebsiella pneumoniae Bile: Heavy growth of Escherichia coli Stent: Proteus mirabilis * All orgnisms sensitive to Ceftriaxone

24. Principles of Management Septic ShockAscending Cholangitis 24 Close monitoring (vital signs, I/O) Hemodynamic support with IV fluids and vasopressors Identify underlying cause for sepsis ABC assessment IV Fluid resuscitation with crystalloids (e.g. plain NSS) Parenteral antibiotics Biliary decompression (severe cases) Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) for choleliths

26. Looking Ahead – Ascending Cholangitis PrognosisComplications Depends on the following: – Early recognition and treatment of cholangitis – Response to therapy – Underlying medical conditions of the patient Mortality rate: 5-10%, (higher in patients who require emergency decompression or surgery) Good response to antibiotics = good prognosis Liver failure, hepatic abscess, microabscess Acute renal failure Bacteremia, sepsis (gram- negative)

27. Looking Ahead – Septic Shock PrognosisComplications Depends on the following: – Severity of illness – Co-morbidities – Age Response to antibiotics Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) Renal dysfunction Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) Mesenteric ischemia Myocardial ischemia and dysfunction

28. Other Aspects of the Case Psycho-socio-economic ImpactPrevention and Public Health P100,000 per day with ICU admissions  current expense for the patient is around P400,000 On patient’s personal account Lifestyle and health-seeking behavior changes (e.g. low- fat diet, quit smoking, stent- removal) Patient education
