Mortality Mortality
• Overall mortality from sepsis in the U.S.
• approximately 20%
• Linear relationship to the number of organ failures
• each additional organ failure raises the mortality rate by 15%.
• Hypothermia is one of the worst prognostic signs. Patients presenting with sepsis and hypothermia have an overall mortality of ~80%.

WHAT IS SEPSIS?
Surviving Sepsis Campaign 2012
• Sepsis: The presence (probable or documented) of infection together with systemic manifestations of infection
• Severe sepsis: Sepsis plus sepsis induced organ dysfunction or tissue hypoperfusion
• Septic shock: Sepsis induced hypotension persisting despite adequate fluid resuscitation
Sepsis - ?organism
• 1/3 of cases no organism is identified
• Any microbe may cause, but gram negative most common historically
• Higher incidence recently of gram positive due to
• Hospitalized patients
• Immunocompromised
• Indwelling catheters
• Increasing drug resistance

1) 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 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,

Why measure lactate?
• Diagnose severe sepsis with elevated lactate as a diagnosis of tissue hypoperfusion
• Trigger for quantitative resuscitation if lactate is 4 mg/dL or more

Blood Cultures
Diagnosis
1. To optimize identification of causative organisms, we recommend at least two blood cultures be obtained before antimicrobial therapy is administered as long as such cultures do not cause significant delay (>45 minutes) in antimicrobial administration, with at least one drawn percutaneously and one drawn through each vascular access device, unless the device was recently (<48 hr.) inserted (Grade 1C).

Time to Antibiotics Following Onset Septic Shock
Antibiotic Therapy
We recommend that intravenous antibiotic therapy be started as early as possible and within the first hour of recognition of septic shock (1B) and severe sepsis without septic shock (1C).
Remark: Although the weight of evidence supports prompt administration
of antibiotics following the recognition of severe sepsis and septic shock, the feasibility with which clinicians may achieve this ideal state has not been scientifically validated.

Antibiotic Therapy
Initial empiric anti-infective therapy – activity against all likely pathogens and adequate concentrations into suspected or potential sources of infection (1B)
Reassess antibiotic regimen daily for de-escalation (1B)

Fluid therapy
4. We recommend that initial fluid challenge in patients with sepsis-induced tissue hypoperfusion with suspicion of hypovolemic be started with ≥ 1000 mL of crystalloids (to achieve a minimum of 30ml/kg of crystalloids in the first 4 to 6 hours).
(Grade 1B).
Fluid therapy
1. Crystalloids (1B)
2. Albumin (2C)
3. Avoid HES (1B)
Fluid therapy
4. Initial fluid challenge in sepsis-induced tissue hypoperfusion (hypotension or elevated lactate) with suspicion of hypovolemia to be a minimum of 30ml/kg of crystalloids(a portion of this may be albumin equivalent). More rapid administration and greater amounts of fluid, may be needed in some patients ( 1B)

Therapeutic Strategies in Sepsis
• Diagnosis
• Cultures (grade 1C).
• Imaging studies to confirm source of infection (UG).
Therapeutic Strategies in Sepsis
• Antimicrobial Therapy
• Effective intravenous antimicrobials within the first hour (1B/1C)
• Empiric anti-infective therapy of one or more drugs
• activity against all likely pathogens and penetrate suspected source tissue (1B)
• Combination therapy if neutropenic, MDRO, resp failure + septic shock (2B)
• Reassessed daily for potential de-escalation (1B)
• Procalcitonin or similar biomarkers to assess for discontinuation in those without evidence of infection(2C)
Therapeutic Strategies in Sepsis
Source Control
• Diagnosis and intervention in first 12 hours (1C)
• In severe sepsis
• Choose the effective intervention associated with the least physiologic insult (UG)
• Remove vascular access devices if suspected source (UG).
Therapeutic Strategies in Sepsis
• Infection Prevention
• Selective oral decontamination
• Selective digestive decontamination
• Oropharyngeal decontamination
• Oral chlorhexidine gluconate
• To reduce the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia (2B)
11/6/2013
12
Hemodynamic Support
• Fluid Therapy in Severe Sepsis
• Crystalloids as the initial fluid of choice in the resuscitation of severe sepsis and septic shock (1B)
• Against the use of hydroxyethyl starches for fluid resuscitation of severe sepsis and septic shock (1B)
• Albumin in the fluid resuscitation of severe sepsis and septic shock when patients require substantial amounts of crystalloids (2C)
• Continue as long as there is hemodynamic improvement either based on dynamic (eg, change in pulse pressure, stroke volume variation) or static (eg, arterial pressure, heart rate) variables (UG)
Effect on Cardiac Filling
Hemodynamic Support
• Vasopressors
• Target a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 65 mm Hg (1C)
• Norepinephrine as the first choice vasopressor (1B)
• Add next or to decrease the norepi dose:
• Epinephrine (2B)
• Vasopressin 0.03 units/min (UG)
• Dopamine as an alternative –rarely (2C)
• Phenylephrine is not recommended unless complications from norepi or salvage therapy (1C)
• Low-dose dopamine should not be used for renal protection (1A)
• Place an arterial catheter (UG)
Crit Care Med. 2012 Mar;40(3):725-30
Meta-analysis – NE versus dopamine
Hemodynamic Support
• Inotropic Therapy
• Dobutamine infusion up to 20 micrograms/kg/min be administered or added to vasopressor (if in use) in the presence of (a) myocardial dysfunction as suggested by elevated cardiac filling pressures and low cardiac output, or (b) ongoing signs of hypoperfusion, despite achieving adequate intravascular volume and adequate MAP (1C)
• Not using a strategy to increase cardiac index to predetermined supranormal levels (1B)
