Q

Organ specific effects of sepsis***(6)

A
  • hypotension 2nd to vasodilation (circulation)
  • capillary permability resulting in pulmonary edema (lung)
  • translocation of bacteria and endotoxin into systemic circulation, disruption of normal GI barrier function (GI tract)
  • acute renal failure (kidney)
  • altered mental status*** usually first symtpom (nervous system)
  • DIC (hematology)

A

Disseminated intravascular coagulation, condition in whcih small bood clots develop thruout the blood stream blocking small vessels depleting platelets and clotting factors needed to control bleeding caused by excessive bleeding (excessive clotting followed by excessive bleeding)

Q

Culture negative sepsis

A

Occurs if antibiotics are used before obtaining cultures

17
Q

Physical findings of neonatal sepsis (6)

A
  • “somethings not right”
  • changes in urine output
  • fever, cough
  • Petechiae and purpura
  • respiratory depression
  • hypoglycemia
18
Q

Who gets a septic workup?

A

Any infant with identifiable risk factors and or signs and symptoms concerning for sepsis

19
Q

Septic work up history questions (7)

A
  • immunization history
  • maternal infections
  • exposures
  • recent infections and treatments
  • travel history
  • past history
  • documentation of fever
20
Q

Presence of papilledema and concern for meningitis, don’t get a ___, first do a ___

A

lumbar puncture, CT

21
Q

Treatment delay while awaiting studies

A

Should NOT be delayed

22
Q

Sepsis workup labs (13)

A
  • CBC with diff
  • lactate (degree of organ hypoperfusion)
  • BMP
  • rapid glucose
  • hypocalcemia
  • PT/INR/PTT
  • ABG
  • urinalysis
  • fibrinogen and d dimer
  • blood culture
  • C reactive protein and procalcitonin (if high indicates severe bacterial infection if differential is heart disease)
  • LP (check retina and fontanelles first)
  • TORCH titers
23
Q

Septic workup by age

A

Febrile neonates up to 90 days need full workup, febrile infants and children more directed

24
Q

Sepsis treatment bundle (5)

A 
Airway
breathing
Circulatoin
IV fluids
Empiric antibiotics IV or IO 2 ports
25
Q

Antibiotic regimen for community acquired sepsis

A
  • ampicillin and gentamicin maybe with HSV

- Vanco sub for ampicillin if MRSA

26
Q

Antibiotic regimen for hospital acquired sepsis (hospitalized since birth)

A
  • Gentamicin and vanco

- clindamycin and metranidazole for GI source

27
Q

Fever of uknown origin (FUO)

A

Prolonged febrile illness without an established etiology despite thorough eval at least once a day for at least 8 days

28
Q

Hyperpyrexia

A

Temp >106F

29
Q

Familial mediterranean fever

A

Armenian and turkish populations that have genetic predisposition to recurring fevers

30
Q

Most common cause of acute recurrent fevers

A

Certain types of viruses

31
Q

Diagnostic tests to assess fever of unknnown origin (7)

A
  • CBC with diff
  • ESR
  • blood culture
  • UA and culture
  • CXR
  • TB test
  • HIV
32
Q

Benefits of fever (3)

A
  • hinders growth and replication of pathogen
  • kicks immune system into higher gear
  • enhances phagocytosis
33
Q

Should a fever be treated?

A

Depends on how patient is doing, if they are doing alright then can hold off but 3 months old with 102 or higher need workup, avoiding empirical treatment with antibiotics or anti-inflammatories as diagnostic measures, if goes above 106 then do need treatment with tylenol and ibuprofen to prevent severe complications
