A

subset of septic patients in which circulatory and cellular metabolism abnormalities are profound

Q

Sepsis algorithm (apparently we have to memorize this and im kinda upset about it but how many questions max will it be like cmon)

A

you suspect pt infection–> check qsofa–> if 2 or greater, assess for evidence of organ dysfxn thru SOFA–> if 2 or greater–> SEPSIS

**if no to either of above Qs—> monitor clinical condition and reevaluate for possible sepsis if clinically indicated

once got dx of SEPSIS, check for SEPTIC SHOCK if ALL of these are a YES==> 1) vasopressors required to maintain MAP >/65 mmHg AND 2) serum lactate level >2 mmol/L (all despite adequate fluid resusc)

if no then its sepsis

19
Q

a person presenting with septic shock would have what signs and syxs

A

hypotension
tachycardia
altered mental status
oliguria

cool extremities (espec cardiogenic shock)

skin mottling

20
Q

signs and syx of sepsis

A

non-specific but include:

Temp >38C or <36C
HR>90
Tachypnea (RR>20)
leukocytosis(>12000) or leukopenia (<4000)

signs of end organ perfusion:

  • early= warm extremities–> can become cool if septic shock develops)
  • skin mottling (septic shock)
  • CNS altered mental status
  • kindey (oliguria)
  • bowel (absent bowel soudns or ileus often signs of end-organ hypoperfusion)
21
Q

diagnostic evaluation

A

CMP (acute liver/kidney injury, electrolytes)

CBC w/ diff

PT(INR), PTT, fibrinogen, D-dimer, periph blood smear (assess for DIC)

arterial blood gases (hypoxemia, possible ARDS)

Serum lactate (poor organ perfusion)

plasma procalcitonin (bacterial infections, sepsis; helpful tool for determining duration of antibiotics)

identify source of infection (maybe urinalysis w/ micro, urine culture, blood culture, sputum, etc.)

22
Q

complications of sepsis

A
  1. DIC
  2. AKI
  3. Acute hepatic injury
  4. ARDS
23
Q

DIC labs

A
  • thrombocytopenia
  • elevated PT/PTT
  • elevated D-dimer and fibrin degradation products
  • decreased fibrinogen levels
  • abnormal peripheral blood smear (schistocytes + helmet cells present)
24
Q

what is needed for dx of ARDS

A

PaO2: FiO2 ratio <300 mmHg

not necessary for dx, but might be impt to know:

CXR- bilateral opacities

25
Q

Treatment/mgmt of sepsi

A
  • place 2 large bore peripheral IVs
  • place central line (typically right internal jugular vein-RIJ catheter)
  • place arterial line
  • place urinary catheter (foley); goal urine output >/0.5 ml/kg/hr
  • endotracheal intubation if indicated
  • Hour 1 bundle
26
Q

what is the hour 1 bundle for sepsis mgmt

A
  1. measure lactate level
  2. obtain blood cultures prior to AB administration
  3. administer empiric broad-spectrum ABs
  4. fluid resuscitation w/ IV fluids (at least 30 ml/kg) for hypotensive pts or lactate >/4 ; crystalloid fluids are preferred
  5. Add vasopressors in adequately volume resuscitated pts to maintain MAP >/65 mmHg
27
Q

what vasopressors can you have in adequately volume resuscitated pts to maintain MAP >65 mmHg

A

Norepinephrine= preferred initial vasopressor

Vasopressin/Epinephrine = can be added as next vasopressor choice if still needed to meet MAP goal

Dobutamine = can be subseq added to pts with ongoing evidence of persistent hypoperfusion despite adequate fluid resusc and vasopressor agents

28
Q

If pt has lactate >2 what should you do

A

you need to repeat the lactate every few hrs until its normal

lactate = marker of tissue hypoperfusion

located in vascular SM

activation–> vasoconstriction

ex. Phenylephrine, Norepinephrine, Epinephrine

30
Q

A

located in vascular and bronchial SMs

activation–> VD and bronchodilation

metabolic/energetic/immune: assess ability for oral intake vs. TPN, Renal/hepatic dosing of meds, monitor ins and outs, daily weights

behavior: address factors leading to sepsis
