OBJECTIVES
What is septic shock?
Basic pathophysiology
Recognition of septic shock
Fluid resuscitation and therapeutic
goals
Choosing antibiotics
SHOCK
Shock is a syndrome that results from
• Inadequate oxygen delivery to meet metabolic demands
• Oxygen supply is less than Oxygen demand
• If untreated this leads to
Metabolic acidosis
Organ dysfunction
Death
SEPTIC SHOCK
• Form of distributive shock
• Invasion of microorganisms
• Exaggerated by
Immune response to infection
Release and activation of immune mediators
• Typical changes are
Vasodilation
Capillary permeability
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF SEPTIC SHOCK
PATTERN-RECOGNITION RECEPTORS
Four main classes
• Toll-like receptors
• C-type lectin receptors
• Retinoic acid inducible gene 1–like receptors
• Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain–like receptor
SEPTIC SHOCK
• SIRS
Systemic inflammatory Response Syndrome
Seen in early stages of septic shock
Criteria
Temperature changes (>38°C or <36°C)
Tachycardia (>160/min in infants, >150/min in children)
Tachypnea (>60/min in infants, >50/min in children)
Leucocytosis/ leucopenia
• Sepsis
SIRS with suspected or proven sepsis
SEPTIC SHOCK
• Severe sepsis
Sepsis + CVS dysfunction/ARDS or
Sepsis with 2 or more organ failures
• Septic shock
Sepsis + CVS dysfunction despite >40ml/hr isotonic fluid in 1 hour
• CVS dysfunction
SBP < 5th centile/required vasoactive medication
CFT > 5 sec
Oliguria < 0.5 ml/kg/hr
Base deficit > 5
Lactate twice the normal
SEPTIC SHOCK
Warm shock
• Early compensated
• Warm peripheries
• Bounding pulses
• Increased CO
• Decreased SVR
• Widened pulse pressure
• Hypocarbia
• Hyperglycaemia
• Metabolic acidosis
Cold shock
• Late hypotensive
• Cold and clammy
• Weak thready pulses
• Decreased CO
• Increased SVR
• Narrow pulse pressure
• Hypoxia
• Hypoglycaemia
• Metabolic acidosis
• Capillary leak & Oliguria
RISK FACTORS
Extremes of age
Immunocompromised
Malnutrition
Asplenia
Chronic antibiotics use
Any insult (shock, trauma, burns and pancreatitis)
CULPRITS OF SEPSIS
Vincent J-L, Rello J, Marshall J, et al. EPIC II G roup of Investigators. International study of the prevalence
and outcomes of infection in intensive care units. JAMA 2009 ; 302 : 2323 - 9 . doi: 10 . 1001 /
jama.2009.1754 . pmid:19952319
EARLY RECOGNITION
• Septic shock is a clinical diagnosis
• High index of suspicion is warranted
• Altered mental status with fever
Altered alertness Lethargy
Poor eye contact Somnolence
Inconsolable cry
• Clinical triad of impending septic shock
Hyper/hypothermia Altered mental status
Peripheral vasodilation
• Any fever + irritability/ lethargy + decreased urine output- look for
tachycardia out of proportion with fever- Septic shock
PRIMARY RESUSCITATION
• Initial assessment of ABC
• 100% oxygen via NRM
• Early administration of broad spectrum antibiotics
• Securing minimum 2 IV lines/ intraosseous line
• Collect briefly the past history to R/O underlying cause
• Initial investigations
• ABG
• Blood sugar
• RFT and Electrolytes
• CBC
• PT/PTT
• Type and cross match
• Cultures
INTRAOSSEOUS TECHNIQUE
• Used in poor peripheral vascular access- 2 IV line attempts
unsuccessful- choose IO
• Sites: Tibial tuberosity, lower end of femur and lower end of
tibia
• Intraosseous needle /bone marrow aspiration needle
• Position: Fluid should infuse easily without evidence of soft-
tissue swelling
• Most successful in children younger than age six- may be
employed in older children
• Fluids, inotropes, antibiotics, transfusions
ANTIMICROBIALS
IN FIRST 3 & 6 HOURS
FLUID RESUCITATION
• Compensated shock
NS/RL 20 ml/kg over 1 hour
Assess the vitals and titrate the fluids accordingly
• Hypotensive shock (uncompensated shock)
Rapid boluses of NS/RL - 20 ml/kg
Until SBP/MAP normal for age
Can reach upto 60 ml/kg in 1 hour
FLUID RESUCITATION
General concerns in fluid therapy in any kind of shock
• Assess the vitals and CCF features
• At the end of each boluses/aliquots
• In cardiac patients start at 10-20 ml/kg over 1 hour
• Once shock is revived wean the fluid and
• Maintain according to the requirement
QUESTION
• Why the amount of bolus is 20 ml/kg?
• Magic number??
FLUID INTOLERANCE
• Features of overload or pulmonary edema
New onset/worsening of rales
Hepatomegaly
Increased oxygen requirement (WOB)
• Causes
Capillary leak into lungs
Cardiogenic pulmonary edema
ARDS
Fluid overload
FLUID INTOLERANCE
• Pathophysiology
Capillary leak
Uncorrected hypovolemia
Loss of crystalloids and colloids
• Management
Slow down the fluid rate
Consider colloids
Consider inotrope/pressor depending upon BP
Positive pressure ventilation( CPAP/Invasive ventilation)
THERAPEUTIC GOALS
• HR for age
• SBP/MAP for age
• Urine O/P > 1 ml/kg/hr
• Warm peripheries with CFT <3 sec
• Normal mental status
• Improving metabolic acidosis/reducing lactate
INTUBATION AND VENTILATION
• Indications
Increased work of breathing
Pulmonary edema
Hypoventilation
Altered mental status(GCS <8)
Refractory shock
Severe hypoxemia +/- hypercapnia and
Moribund state
INTUBATION &
VENTILATION
• Preoxygenation with 100% oxygen with NRM
• Avoid sedative drugs in moribund patients
• Select appropriate ET tube/cuffed tube
• To prevent peritubal air leaks
• Target tidal volume of 6 mL/kg
• Plateau pressure in ARDS must be ≤30 cm H2O
• PEEP on little higher side in mod/severe ARDS
• Head end elevation to 30-45 degree (aspiration / VAP)
BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS
Indications for RBC transfusions are
• Hb <7.0 (Target Haemoglobin is 7 to 9)
• Metabolic acidosis with base deficit > 5
• Elevated lactate
Other blood components are indicated depending upon the needs
• Platelets transfusion if counts < 100,000
• Bleeding due to DIC, consider FFP or cryoprecipitate
STEROIDS
Timely hydrocortisone therapy in children with
• Fluid refractory
• Catecholamine resistant shock and
• Suspected or proven absolute (classic) adrenal insufficiency
• 1-2 mg/kg of hydrocortisone bolus followed by 1mg/kg Q6-8H.
ACID BASE/SUGAR/ELECTROLYTES
• Hypo/hyperglycaemia both are common in SS
Periodic monitoring is warranted
In persistent hypoglycaemia consider early steroids and 10%D
Insulin infusion in persistent hyperglycaemia
• Electrolytes and RFT should be monitored
• Wide anion gap acidosis common in SS due to lactate
Bicarbonate correction is not required
Adequate fluid correction is enough
REFRACTORY SHOCK
If shock persists despite of
• Adequate filling
• Inotrope/ vasopressor
• Initiation of steroids
• Haematocrit >30%
Suspect
• PHTN
• Pericardial effusion
• Tension pneumothorax
• Hypoadrenalism
• Hypothyroidism
• On going blood loss
• Intraabdominal catastrophe and HTN
INDICATORS OF SEVERE DISEASE
• Low or falling WBC count
• Low or falling platelet count
• High requirement of fluid
• Short history(<12 hours)
• Rapid progression of multiorgan failure
SYMPATHETIC RECEPTORS
ALPHA
• Alpha -1 (vasoconstriction)
1-a prostatic urethra
1-b blood vessels
• Alpha -2
Presynaptic
Brake to sym system
Post synaptic
Blood vessels & brain
BETA
• Beta-1
Heart & GJ cells
• Beta-2 (vasodilation)
Bronchus, GIT, Bladder
Uterus, Liver, Skeletal muscle
Blood vessels
• Beta-3
Adipose tissue
Coronary vessels
CATECHOLAMINES
• Adrenaline acts on
Alpha – 1 & 2 Increases SBP & HR
Beta – 1 & 2
• Noradrenaline
Alpha – 1 & 2 Increases SBP & DBP
Beta – 1 Decreases HR
CATECHOLAMINES
• Dopamine
D-1 @ 1-2 mics/kg/min (Renal vasodilation)
Beta-1 @ 2-10 mics/kg/min (Increases contractility)
Alpha-1 @ >10 mics/kg/min (Vasoconstriction)
• Dobutamine
Selective beta-1 agonist increases contractility and
vasodilation
DOSES
RULE OF “6”
Question
• Write Dopamine orders for a 10 kg child with fluid refractory
