11. Sepsis
11.1. Signs & Symptoms: Infection, documented or suspected, and some of the following. General Variables • Fever (temperature >100.9° F [38.3° C]) • Hypothermia (core temperature <97.0° F [36° C]) • Heart rate >90 beats/min • Tachypnea • Altered mental status • Significant edema or positive fluid balance (>20 mL/kg over 24 hr) • Hyperglycemia (blood glucose >140 mg/dL) in the absence of diabetes Inflammatory Variables • Leukocytosis (WBC count >12,000/µL) • Leukopenia (WBC count <4000/µL) • Normal WBC count with >10% immature forms • Elevated C-reactive protein • Elevated procalcitonin Hemodynamic Variables • Arterial hypotension (SBP <90 mm Hg, MAP <70 mm Hg, or a decrease in SBP >40 mm Hg) Organ Dysfunction Variables • Arterial hypoxemia (PaO2/FIO2 <300) • Acute oliguria (urine output <0.5 mL/kg/hr for at least 2 hr despite adequate fluid resuscitation) • Serum creatinine increase >0.5 mg/dL • Coagulation abnormalities (INR >1.5 or PTT >60 sec) • Ileus (absent bowel sounds) • Thrombocytopenia (platelet count <100,000/µL) • Hyperbilirubinemia (total bilirubin >4 mg/dL) Tissue Perfusion Variables • Hyperlactatemia (>1 mmol/L) • Decreased capillary refill or mottling
11.2. Sepsis Shock Def: Septic shock is the presence of sepsis with hypotension despite adequate fluid resuscitation, along with inadequate tissue perfusion resulting in tissue hypoxia. The main organisms that cause sepsis are gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Parasites, fungi, and viruses can also cause sepsis and septic shock.
