INFECTION
• .
Invasion of normally sterile host tissue by
bacteria.
BACTEREMIA
Presence of viable bacteria in blood
SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATORY
RESPONSE SYNDROME
• Generalized inflammatory response of the
body to a variety of clinical conditions.
• 2 or more of the following
SIRS
•Systemic response manifested
by ≥ 2 of:
–Temp > 38oC or < 36oC
–HR > 90 bpm
–RR > 20 bpm
–WBC > 12 x 109/L, < 4 x 109/L.
SEPSIS
• SIRS with documented source of
infection
SEVERE SEPSIS
• Sepsis associated with organ dysfunction,
hypoperfusion or hypotension.
MODS
• Presence of altered organ function lasting for
> 24 hrs in an acutely ill patient, such that
homeostasis cant be maintained without
intervention.

INITIAL RESUSCITATION [1st 6 hrs]
• Central venous pressure (CVP): 8–12 mm
Hg / 12-15 if mechanical ventilation
• Mean arterial pressure (MAP) >65 mm Hg
• Urine output >0.5 mL/kg/hour
• Central venous (superior vena cava) or
mixed venous oxygen saturation >70% or
>65%, respectively
if central venous oxygen saturation not
achieved
• FLUID
• PRBC ( Hct >30)
• DOBUTAMINE : max 20µ/kg/min
DIAGNOSIS
BLOOD CULTURE
ANTIBIOTICS
SOURCE IDENTIFICATION/CONTROL
HEMODYNAMIC SUPPORT
VASOPRESSORS
NOREPINEPHRINE / DOPAMINE
EPINEPHRINEADDED
IF POOR RESPONSE
VASOPRESSIN
0.03 UNITS/MIN
No low dose
Dopamine!
MAP >65
Arterial catheter
INOTROPES
STEROIDS
• Poorly responsive hypotension
• Hydrocortisone > dexamethasone
• Hydrocortisone <300 mg / day
• Fludrocortisone 50 µg OD optional
• Weaned when no vasopressors
• No steroid if no shock
Recombinant Activated Protein C
• APACHE II >25

• Protocol-based with
interruption
NMB
• Only when necessary

RENAL REPLACEMENT
• Intermittent HD = CVVH
• CVVH if hypotension
Bicarbonate therapy
• Not for hypoperfusion induced lactic

OUTCOME IMPROVED BY
• Early goal directed therapy
• Lung protective ventilation
• Appropriate antibiotic coverage
• Activated protein C
• Tight control of sugars 80-100mg/dl
• Steroids
A clinician, armed with the sepsis bundles, attacks the three heads of severe
sepsis: hypotension, hypoperfusion and organ dysfunction
