SEPSIS: IMPROVING CARE, IMPROVING OUTCOME Professor Kevin Rooney World Sepsis Day 13 th September 2012

Scotland HSMR – 10.6% Reduction

Good but room for improvement Sepsis

What is Sepsis?

Acute MI & Trauma 5% Mortality 3% Mortality

Severe Sepsis And HAI Mortality SEVERE SEPSIS 2004: DEATHS 300 per million dying of severe sepsis in any one year ODDS: 1 in 3333 SEPSIS in UK: DEATHS ODDS 1 in 125 MRSA & CDI 2006: 8132 DEATHS 91 per million dying of MRSA or CDI in any one year. ODDS: 1 in 11,000. –For those aged under 45 years : 1 in 250,000. –For those aged 85 years or older, 1 in ; UK Sepsis Group Harrison D et al Critical Care 2006; 10:R42

Variation In Sepsis Care

15,022 Patients 165 Hospitals Median of 14 Months Mortality Decreased from 37 to 30.8 Percent 6.2% Absolute 16% Relative

STAG Sepsis Management in Scotland Signs of sepsis < 2 days 2% of emergency admissions (~5000) 71% had a EWS 34% had severe sepsis 21% blood cultures 32% IV Antibiotics 70% IV fluids Scottish Defect Rate was 18-74%

Why is implementation so difficult? Too many elements in the bundle Some are controversial Time Sensitive Process Difficult To Diagnosis Sepsis Early Human Factors Get In The Way Invasive procedures needed ICU stuff??

Complacency, Education & Trying Harder isn’t enough

New ways of thinking

Front line engagement Segmentation Real Time Data Collection Early Feed Back of Metrics Early Case Review and Feedback Use Level 2 Reliability Tools

Evidence for the Change Package

Reliable Sepsis screening (EWS + SIRS) Ensure reliable communication across clinical teams of at risk patients Ensure timely rescue of deteriorating patient by competent teams To improve the recognition and timely management of Sepsis in acute hospitals Outcome: Reduction in mortality in pilot population from Sepsis 5% by December % by December 2014 AIM Reliable Recognition & Assessment Reliable Care Delivery Education & Awareness Culture of safety and Quality Improvement PRIMARY DRIVERS Ensure reliable delivery of Sepsis Six within 1 hour Source Control Ensure reliable escalation of septic patients to higher level of care Improve Antimicrobial stewardship - 3 day review Education on burden of illness & current performance Provide training to staff on clinical knowledge and improvement skills Executive Sponsorship Clinical Leadership Multidisciplinary team working Develop measurement frameworks to guide improvement Involve patients & families in treatment process and care planning SECONDARY DRIVERS Patient & Family Centred Care JOINT COLLABORATIVE - SEPSIS DRIVER DIAGRAM

Reliable Recognition, Assessment & Rescue

Sepsis Screening MEWS: >95% reliable in pilot wards Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) criteria

The Sepsis Six 1.Deliver high-flow O 2 (>98% SpO 2 ) 2.Take blood cultures and consider source control 3.Give IV antibioticsaccording to local protocol 4.Start IV fluid resuscitation (min 500ml) and reassess 5.Check serum lactate & FBC 6.Commence accurate urine output measurement and consider urinary catheterisation All within one hour © Ron Daniels 2010

Cumulative effective antimicrobial initiation following onset of septic shock-associated hypotension and associated survival. The x-axis represents time (hrs) following first documentation of septic shock-associated hypotension. Black bars represent the fraction of patients surviving to hospital discharge for effective therapy initiated within the given time interval. The gray bars represent the cumulative fraction of patients having received effective antimicrobials at any given time point. Why within an hour?

Why all septic patients? Sepsis Disease Continuum: 15% → 30% → 50%
