12 The Disconnect. Sepsis Myths Only affects the elderly Only patients with comorbidities Won t happen to me or my family 12

13 Faces of Sepsis My name is Carl Flatley, founder of Sepsis Alliance My daughter Erin died of sepsis at age 23 Too many daughters and sons die every day Suspect Sepsis 13

14 Faces of Sepsis My name is Doreen I am a Registered Nurse I am fortunate. I am a SEPSIS Survivor Suspect Sepsis 14

15 Challenges.. Symptoms are subtle May delay arrival to ED triage call for rapid response or medical emergency teams Symptoms mimic other, and potentially less severe, conditions Condition escalates quickly No one specialty/department owns sepsis Limited sepsis identification and management resources 15

17 Symptoms of Sepsis in Children 17

18 What is Sepsis? Sepsis is the body s overwhelming and life-threatening response to infection, which can lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death. Bacteria Other INFECTION Fungi Parasites Viruses Sepsis SIRS or SOFA criteria Trauma Burns Other Pancreatitis 18 Sourece Singer, M., et.al., 2016 Diagram modified from Bone, R. C., et.al., 1992

19 Sources of Infection Sepsis can be caused by any type of infection: Bacterial Viral Fungal Parasitic 19

20 Recognizing Response to Infection Two methods are available to help in identifying systemic response to infection SIRS criteria SOFA criteria A simpler version of SOFA is called qsofa 20

21 What is SIRS? Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome This syndrome may occur as the body responds to infection or injury. It is important to remember non-infectious disorders may also cause SIRS. 21 Source: Bone, R. C., et.al., 1992

22 SIRS Criteria Hyperthermia >38.3 C/ 101F Hypothermia <36 C/ 96.8 F Tachycardia >90 beats per minute Tachypnea >20 breaths per minute Leukocytosis (WBC >12,000) Leukopenia (WBC <4,000) Bands 10% 2 or more SIRS criteria plus infection equals SEPSIS 22 Source: Bone, R. C., et.al., 1992

23 Sepsis Identification using SOFA criteria 23 Source: Singer, M., et.al., 2016

24 qsofa quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Modification of the SOFA Score range 0-3. Score of 2 or higher predictive of mortality rate of at least 10% (study revealed 24%) Can be assessed immediately upon presentation Does not require any supplemental investigation (WBC or Lactate) 24 Source: Singer, M., et.al., 2016

25 qsofa Patients with suspected infection who are likely to have a prolonged ICU stay or to die in the hospital can be promptly identified at the bedside with qsofa qsofa CRITERIA SCORE Respiratory Rate 22/min 1 Altered Mental Status 1 Systolic BP 100 mmhg 1 Total Score 3 25

28 Sepsis Septic Shock Sepsis induced hypotension that persists despite adequate fluid resuscitation (30 ml/kg) and/or lactate > 4 is Septic Shock 28 Source: Surviving Sepsis Campaign

29 How Does Infection Cause Shock? Organism Systemic inflammation or inflammatory response Diffuse endothelial disruption and microcirculation defects SEPTIC SHOCK Subset of sepsis with circulatory and cellular/metabolic dysfunction associated with higher risk of mortality Global tissue hypoxia and organ dysfunction 29 Source: Surviving Sepsis Campaign

30 Time is Tissue 3-Hour Bundle To be completed within 3 hours of time of presentation: Measure lactate level Obtain blood cultures prior to administration of antibiotics Administer broad spectrum antibiotics Administer 30mL/kg crystalloid for hypotension or lactate 4mmol/L Early recognition and treatment of sepsis may prevent development septic shock 30 Source: Surviving Sepsis Campaign

31 Lactate The body's energy needs are mainly met by aerobic metabolism, which requires oxygen. If there is a lack of oxygen in the body, it reverts to anaerobic metabolism, of which lactic acid is a byproduct. This may, in turn, lead to lactic acidosis, or a decreased physiological ph. This is an emergency and requires immediate medical attention. Elevated lactate levels tell you that there are tissue beds in your body that are having to function without oxygen. As perfusion is improved, lactate levels usually decrease. 31

32 Timely and Appropriate Antibiotics 32 Source: Kumar et.al., 2006

33 Fluid Administration Administer 30mL/kg crystalloid for hypotension or lactate 4mmol/L Examples: Lactated Ringers Normal Saline 33 Source: Surviving Sepsis Campaign

34 Reassessment is NOT Optional Document reassessment of volume status and tissue perfusion Either Repeat focused exam (after initial fluid resuscitation) by licensed independent practitioner including vital signs, cardiopulmonary, capillary refill, pulse, and skin findings. Or two of the following: Measure CVP Measure ScvO 2 Bedside cardiovascular ultrasound Dynamic assessment of fluid responsiveness with passive leg raise or fluid challenge 34 Source: Surviving Sepsis Campaign

35 Dynamic Assessment of Fluid Responsiveness using Stroke Volume (SV) SV 57 SV 55 Frank- Starling Curve SV 47 SV ml bolus 500 ml bolus Preload: Fluid bolus, Passive leg raise

36 Stroke Volume Assessment using Passive Leg Raise (PLR) Obtain Stroke Volume This is a measured valve obtained invasively or noninvasively 1. Place patient in a 45 semi-recumbant position for 2 minutes SCD s should be turned off, pillows removed and foot of bed flat 2. Lay patient flat in supine position and elevate legs to 45 without allowing feet to drop 3. Observe and obtain SV/SVI for sec. Fluid responsive: SV/SVI increases by 10% 4. Reposition patient 36

38 Source Control What is putting this individual at risk for infection? Invasive lines Implanted devices Congenital abnormalities such as valve disease Exposure Wounds Recent childbirth Do not underestimate the power of your nursing assessment. 38 Source: Surviving Sepsis Campaign

39 Time is Tissue 6-Hour Bundle To be completed within 6 hours of time of presentation: Apply vasopressors for hypotension that does not respond to initial fluid resuscitation to maintain a mean arterial pressure (MAP) 65mmHg In the event of persistent hypotension after initial fluid administration (MAP < 65 mm Hg) or if initial lactate was 4 mmol/l, reassess volume status and tissue perfusion and document findings Re-measure lactate if initial lactate elevated 39 Source: Surviving Sepsis Campaign

42 Additional Laboratory Tests 42

43 Procalcitonin (PCT) PCT is a prohormone of calcitonin Secreted by many cell types and organs after bacterial pro-inflammatory stimulation Elevated PCT levels indicate bacterial infection accompanied by a systemic inflammatory reaction. Localized infection generally dose does not increase circulating PCT. Slightly elevated levels Bacterial infection with mild systemic inflammatory response Very elevated levels Acute disease with severe systemic reaction, such as severe sepsis and septic shock. 43

44 Procalcitonin (PCT) A useful tool for optimization, treatment duration, and de-escalation of antibiotic therapy in a bacterial infection Increases early, 3-6 hours, after an infectious challenge and has highly a specific rise in response to severe systemic bacterial infections Levels are usually low in viral infections, chronic inflammatory, and autoimmune disorders Procalcitonin levels in sepsis are usually >.5-2 ng/ml May reach levels of 10 to 100 ng/ml or more. 44

45 C-Reactive Protein (CRP) An additional inflammatory marker available for sepsis screening A rise in the plasma concentration of CRP in the absence of other non-infectious causes of inflammation (ex: trauma, surgery, etc) may be suggestive of infection Severe liver disease may reduce the elevation of CRP. In these individuals, diagnosis of sepsis should not be excluded based on lower CRP 45 Pieri,G., et.al (2014)
