sepsis Flashcards
reason for more sepsis cases
- better capture
- age
- immunocomprimise
- more resistant bug
sepsis
life threatening organ dysfunction (2 or more qsofa) causes by host response to an infection
qSOFA
RR> 22
DLOC
SBP< 100
septic shock
require a pressor to maintain a MAP> 65 lactate >2

steps of the innate immune response
1- pathogen breaches skin
2- macrophages and mast cells respond to area
3- mast cells cause inflammation
2- macrophages ingest the pathogen and release cytokines
3- cytokines attract basophils/eosinophils/ more mast cells and cause local edema and increased permeability
4- cytokines cause neutrophils to stick to endothelium and invest pathogens at the site, neutrophils die to create pus
steps of adaptive immune response
1- dendritic antigen presenting cells absorb pathogen and present it on its surface
2- the APC enters lymphatic circulation to lymph nodes
3- in the lymph node, the APC attaches to help T cells where antibodies are created
4- If the pathogen itself enters lymphatic tissue, B cells will bind to them and create antibodies
5- T cells will create cytotoxic t cells which enter circulation with the antibody
6- B cell will create effector cells/antibodies
7- cytotoxic T cells and antibodies will travel to the site of infection and either neutralize or tagged them for destruction
SIRS vs Sepsis vs Severe sepsis vs Septic shock vs MODS
SIRS- fever, RR> 20, HR>90, WBC elevation,
Sepsis- 2 SIRS + infection confirmation
Severe sepsis- Sepsis + signs of hypo perfusion (no longer used)
Septic Shock- Severe sepsis refractory to appropriate fluid resuscitation
MODS- Failure of 2 or more organs
SIRS criteria
36> temp> 38 RR> 22 HR> 90 4000> WBC >12000 2 or more to qualify
