Definitions
Infection: microbial phenomenon
characterised by an inflammatory
response to the presence of micro
organisms or the invasion of normally
sterile host tissue by these
organisms.
Bacteremia: the presence of bacteria
in the bloodstream.
Septicaemia: no longer used
Sepsis
The presence (probable or
documented) of infection together with
systemic manifestations of infection.
Severe sepsis
is defined as sepsis
AND
sepsis-induced organ dysfunction or
tissue hypoperfusion.
General variables:
Fever (> 38.3C)
Hypothermia (core temperature < 36C)
Heart rate > 90/min
Tachypnea
Altered mental status
Significant edema or positive fluid balance
(> 20 mL/kg over 24 hour)
Hyperglycemia (plasma glucose > 140mg/dl or
7.7 mmol/) in the absence of diabetes
Protocolized, quantitative
resuscitation of patients with sepsis
induced tissue hypoperfusion.
Definition: hypotension persisting
after initial fluid challenge or blood
lactate concentration 4 mmol/L)
DIAGNOSIS
1. Cultures:
before antimicrobial therapy to cause no
significant delay (> 45 mins) in the start of
antimicrobial(s).
at least 2 sets of blood cultures (both
aerobic and anaerobic bottles) be obtained
before antimicrobial therapy with at least 1
drawn percutaneously and 1 drawn through
each vascular access device unless the
device was recently (<48 hrs) inserted.
2. Antibody assay
Use of the 1,3 beta-D-glucan assay
(grade 2B), mannan and anti-mannan
antibody assays (2C), if available and
invasive candidiasis is a differential
diagnosis as to the cause of infection.
3. Imaging studies
Performed promptly to confirm a
potential source of infection.
Antimicrobial Therapy
Antimicrobial Therapy
1. Administration of effective
intravenous antimicrobials within the
first hour of recognition of septic
shock and severe sepsis without
septic shock as the goal of therapy.
Source Control
A specific anatomical diagnosis of
infection requiring consideration for
emergent source control be sought
and diagnosed or excluded as rapidly
as possible, and intervention be
undertaken for source control within
the first 12 housr after the diagnosis is
made.
Infection Prevention
Vasopressors
- to target a mean arterial pressure
(MAP) of 65 mm Hg.
- Norepinephrine as the first choice
vasopressor.
- Epinephrine (added to and
potentially substituted for
norepinephrine) when an additional
agent is needed to maintain adequate
blood pressure.
Dopamine
- an alternative vasopressor agent to
norepinephrine only in highly
selected patients (patients with low
risk of tachyarrhythmias and
absolute or relative bradycardia).
- low-dose dopamine should not be
used for renal protection.
Corticosteroids
Not using intravenous hydrocortisone to
treat adult septic shock patients if
adequate fluid resuscitation and
vasopressor therapy are able to restore
hemodynamic stability.
In case this is not achievable,
intravenous hydrocortisone alone at a
dose of 200 mg per day.
CORTICUS
International, prospective doubleblind RCT of hydrocortisone in
patients with moderate severe
septic shock
HC 50 mg q 6hours for 5 days then
tapering to day 11.
Primary Endpoint 28 day mortality
in non - responders
CORTICUS - Results
No effect on 28 day mortality in
whole population or preidentified subgroups
Did not reverse shock in whole
population or pre-identified
subgroups
Did reduce the time to shock

super-infection
Immunoglobulins
> Not use intravenous immunoglobulins in adult patients with severe
sepsis or septic shock .
Glucose control
A protocolized approach to blood glucose
management in ICU patients with severe sepsis
commencing insulin dosing when 2 consecutive
blood glucose levels are >180 mg/dL. This
protocolized approach should target an upper
blood glucose 180 mg/dL rather than an upper
target blood glucose 110 mg/dL
2. Blood glucose values be monitored every 12
hours until glucose values and insulin infusion
rates are stable and then every 4 hours
thereafter
