A Practical Solution … the Handover Sheet
Problem Lists: A Solution
P1: VAP? A1: Start Ceftazidime Airway Breathing (Ventilatory Mode) PaO2:FiO2 Ratio Positive End Expiratory Pressure RR:TV Ratio Peak Airway Pressure Secretions Chest X-Ray Respiratory & Ventilation
P:F Ratios PaO2 10 on 21% ≠ PaO2 10 on FiO2 100% P:F = PaO2 / FiO2
Weaning Pressure Sup port Ventilation RR/TV
Rate and Rhythm MAP Inotrope / Vasopressor No. 1 Inotrope / Vasopressor No. 2 Steroids Hb Markers of Perfusion Clinical – Warm Well Perfused Central Venous Oxygen Saturation Lactate Base Deficit Cardiovascular
Cardiovascular Numbers MAP 65 mmHg is OK 0.5 mcg/kg/min (Adr / NAd) is A LOT ScvO2 <70% is TOO LOW Lactate >2 mmol/l is TOO HIGH Base deficit < -2 is TOO MUCH
Steroids in Sepsis Controversial Previously shown to reduce mortality amongst those unable to mount a steroid stress response (Synacthen) CORTICUS study (2008): • No effect on mortality but faster time to resolution of shock (i.e. reduced inotrope/vasopressor duration). • Same for responders and non-responders thus synacthen test no longer indicated
Target Fluid Balance Achieved Fluid Balance Urine Output in 24hrs (= hourly urine output) Oedema Biochemistry Na K Urea Creatinine Magnesium Phosphate Renal
Fluid Balance Colloids for Filling Crystalloids for Maintenance +500ml / day is normal Add if febrile / diarrhoea Subtract if oedema / bad lungs Controversial Crispy or Bloated?
Renal Numbers Normal Mg2+ >0.8 Give 10mmol over 1 hour Normal PO43- > 0.8 <0.5 mmol / kg over 6 hours
Target Nutrition In Achieved Nutrition In Nutrition Out Ulcer prophylaxis BM - Glycaemia Bilirubin GI / Liver
Nutrition Controversial Starvation is bad (eventually) 30ml/kg/day TNIN ≠ ANIN? Metoclopramide
Gastric Protection Controversial Ranitidine / Sucralfate Ventilator Associated Pneumonia
Glycaemic Control NICE-SUGAR (2009) Tight (4.5-6 mmol/L) vs conventional (4.5-10mmol/L) glycaemic control ---------------------------------------------------Increased mortality and hypoglycaemic episodes for tight control. Conventional range recommended
