TAKE HOME POINTS • Sepsis is SIRS with infection • Severe Sepsis = Sepsis with organ dysfunction • You are on the clock once sepsis recognized • - Time is Tissue
Sepsis Get cultures Check Lactate Order ABX Determine whether IVF’s necessary TAKE HOME POINTSWhat do you need to do? • Severe Sepsis • Get cultures • Check Lactate • Order ABX • Gives IVF’s Goal is to get these completed or started within 1 hour!!!
Background • Rory Staunton • Scraped arm in gym class • Evaluated by PCP and ED • - Sepsis not recognized • - Discharged from ED • Returned to ED • Died 4 days after scraping arm of invasive Group A Strep infection with septic shock
NYS Regulations • Screening and early recognition of patients with sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock • A process to identify and document individuals appropriate for treatment through severe sepsis protocols • Guidelines for treatment including for early delivery of antibiotics
NYS Regulations • Hospitals will be required to ensure that appropriate hospital staff members are trained in the protocols • Require hospitals to collect data and quality measures to make internal quality improvements • Report data to the Department of Health for use in monitoring compliance and updating best practices
Common and Expensive Disease • Severe Sepsis- 2% of admitted patients • - 50% treated in ICU • - 10% of all ICU admissions • - 750,000 cases/year • - 550 deaths/day • ~30% mortality • - Frequently have neurocognitive dysfunction • - Mood disorders • - Decreased QOL • $16 Billion per year
Definitions • SIRS • - 2 or more of the following: • Temp >38.3, <36.0; RR >20, HR >90, WBC >12,000 or <4,000; >10% bands • Sepsis • - SIRS plus source or suspected source of infection • Severe Sepsis • - Sepsis plus end organ dysfunction • Septic Shock • - Persistent hypotension despite adequate fluid resuscitation
Oxygen Delivery and Utilization SEPSIS LACTIC ACIDOSIS
10% mortality Lactic Acidosis 20% mortality 30% mortality Mmol/L mg/dl 1 = 9 2 = 18 3 = 27 4 = 36 Intensive Care Med 2007;33(6):970–7
In hospital mortality • 30.5% in EGDT group • 46.5% in standard therapy • Set end points • CVP • MAP • ScvO2
Initial Resuscitation Bundle • Should occur ASAP • Location independent • Management Bundle • After the 6 hour bundle completed • Typically managed in the ICU Dellinger et al. CCM. 2013;41(2):580-637.
First 6 hours - “Golden Hours” Goal within 1 hour “This protocol should not be delayed pending ICU admission” Dellinger et al. CCM. 2013;41(2):580-637.
GOALS - Lactate Clearance • Predictors of survival • Lactate normalization • Relative lactate clearance of 50% • 10% lactate clearance was non-inferior to ScvO2 Nguyen et al. CCM 2004. 32;8:1637-42
GIVE THE ABX!! Initiation of antibiotics within the first hour- ~80% survival -every additional hour to effective antimicrobial initiation -survival decreased by 7.6%/hour
GOALS - FLUIDS • Severe sepsis • Lactate >4 • Hypotension 2 Liters should cover it
GOALS - Source of Infection • After initial resuscitation has started • Evaluate for removable/drainable source of infection • Will be prompted by nursing
After Initial Resuscitation Management Bundle • Vasopressors • Norepinephrine • SAY NO TO DOPAMINE • Vasopressin • Low Dose
Management Bundle • CVP • ScvO2 • Mechanical Ventilation • Low Tidal Volume Ventilation • Prone positioning • Paralytics • Steroids • Vasopressor refractory shock • PRBC’s • Dobutamine
ICU Involvement • Can call any time • No response to fluid bolus • BP • Persistently elevated lactate (if elevated initially) • Goal would be 10-20% clearance within first few hours • Urine output
The Power of U .net • Web Crawler • Constantly searching the EMR for the presence of SIRS/Sepsis
EARLY RECOGNITION WEB CRAWLER
Early RecognitionWeb Crawler • SIRS alert • Severe Sepsis Alert
Sepsis Stratification • Nurse will contact provider • Provider will be responsible for filling out form within 15 minutes of contact • Prompting provider to initiate appropriate power plan • Relationship established with primary nurse to ensure completion of resuscitation bundle
Stratification form cont. • Central Line/PICC • A-line • Mechanical Ventilation • Fluid Resuscitation • Pressors • PRBC’s
NursingPivotal Role • Team approach • Provider • Laboratory services • Pharmacy • Recognition of need for timely intervention • Dedication to identifying a “sepsis point person” • Day shift: Clinical Nurse Leader/Charge Nurse • Evening & Night: Charge Nurse/Clinical Resource Nurse/Nursing Supervisor • Assist in ensuring tasks completed • Utilize reference card to determine follow-up evaluation and prompt provider in timing of further testing/procedures/diagnostic testing
Multidisciplinary ApproachPharmacy • Have committed to delivering antibiotics in a timely manner • Understand the importance of administering antibiotics within 1 hour
Multidisciplinary ApproachLaboratory/ACM • Have committed to drawing cultures and labs promptly • Cultures to be drawn before antibiotic administration • Sites to be labeled • Lactic acid level to be drawn and reported STAT
TAKE HOME POINTS • Sepsis is SIRS with infection • Severe Sepsis = Sepsis with organ dysfunction • You are on the clock once sepsis recognized • Time is Tissue
TAKE HOME POINTSWhat do you need to do? • Sepsis • Get cultures • Check Lactate • Order ABX • Check Lactate • Determine whether IVF’s necessary • Severe Sepsis • Get cultures • Check Lactate • Order ABX • Give IVF’s • Reevaluate Goal is to get these completed or started within 1 hour!!!
Where the Sepsis Crawler is Evaluating Patients • 2100 • 2200 • 2300 • 2600 • 2700 • 3100 • 3200 • 3300 • 3400 • 3600 • (future 5100) • 2400 IMCU • ED EOU • ED Nurse Station • ICU • PR4100 • PR4200 • PR4300 • PR4400 • ED Ambulatory • PACU ES
Who will be alerted • All Providers, including Residents and APP • All nurses – who have a relationship with patient – 17 hours
Workflow - Provider • SIRS or Severe Sepsis Alert fires
Workflow – VerifyingPatient Name • Provider should always confirm the patient they are working on when the Alert fires • This is important during down times as you will receive multiple alerts when system becomes available
