Grading Quality of Evidence GRADE System A- high quality B- intermediate C- low D- very low Case series or expert opinion Upgrade capability Ungraded (UG) recommendation
Grading Strength of Recommendation GRADE System 1- strong recommendation We recommend 2- weak recommendation We suggest
Early Screening and a Performance Improvement Program
Antibiotic Therapy We recommend that intravenous antibiotic therapy be started as early as possible and within the first hour of recognition of septic shock (1B) and severe sepsis without septic shock (1C). (Best Practice versus Stand of Care)
Resuscitation of Sepsis Induced Tissue Hypoperfusion Recommend MAP 65 mm Hg
FLUID THERAPY
Fluid therapy We recommend crystalloids be used in the initial fluid resuscitation of severe sepsis (Grade 1B).
Fluid therapy We suggest the use of albumin in the fluid resuscitation of severe sepsis and septic shock when patients require substantial amounts of crystalloids (Grade 2C).
Fluid challenge Initial fluid challenge in sepsis-induced tissue hypoperfusion (hypotension or elevated lactate) A minimum of 30ml/kg of crystalloids (a portion of this may be albumin equivalent). (1B)
Vasopressors
Vasopressors We recommend norepinephrine as the first choice vasopressor (Grade 1 B).
Vasopressors 2. We suggest epinephrine (added to and potentially substituted for norepinephrine) when an additional agent is needed to maintain blood pressure (Grade 2B).
Vasopressors 3. Vasopressin .03 units/min can be added to norepinephrine with the intent of raising MAP to target or decreasing or decreasing norepinephrine dosage. (UG)
Phenylephrine Pure vasopressor and in general not recommended
Sepsis Induced Tissue Hypoperfusion (Recommend Quantitative Resuscitation) Requirement for vasopressors after fluid challenge or Lactate ≥ 4 mg/dL The initial resuscitation of the patient is of utmost importance and frequently occurs in the emergency department or on hospital wards.
Initial Resuscitation of Sepsis Induced Tissue Hypoperfusion Recommend Insertion central venous catheter Central venous pressure: 8–12 mm Hg Higher with altered ventricular compliance or increased intrathoracic pressure Grade 1C
Arterial Systolic Pressure Variation Parry-Jones, et al. Int J Respir Crit Care Med 2003;2:67
Effect on Stroke Volume Part A Once the initial Arterial thermodilution Cardiac Output is obtained the system is now calibrated to do the PCCO measurement. PCCO is the measurement of Continuous Cardiac Output which is measured beat to beat. How many of you look at the arterial line wave form to determine if the patient has adequate vascular volume ? Tall narrow and peaked waveform may be an indication of possible hypovolemia. Wide and Fat may be an indication of low vascular volume. The truth is that the area under the arterial wave form is proportional to stroke volume. We determine the stroke volume and multiply it buy the heart rate and get Cardiac Output. t
Effect on Stroke Volume
Effect on Cardiac Filling
Initial Resuscitation of Sepsis Induced Tissue Hypoperfusion Recommend Insertion central venous catheter ScvO2 saturation (SVC) 70% Grade 1C
Lactate Clearance In patients with elevated lactate levels as a marker of tissue hypoperfusion we suggest targeting resuscitation to normalize lactate as rapidly as possible (grade 2C).
