Sepsis at JPUH
THE STORY SO FAR

2. Supported by JPUH Transformation Team
Every year in the UK there are 150,000 cases of Sepsis, resulting in a staggering 44,000 deaths – more than bowel, breast and prostate cancer combined.

3. 116 deaths due to Sepsis from July 2015 to July 2016.

116 deaths due to Sepsis from July 2015 to July 2016.
44 with a primary diagnosis (41 sepsis and 3 septic shock), 72 more with some diagnosis of sepsis.

18. Mean LoS for patients with sepsis, Sep-Dec 2016

Mean length of stay, by month of discharge, given primary diagnosis group of “Septicaemia (except in labour)”, for patients at JPUH; comparison to acute providers nationally and in the East of England.

Since the introduction of the CQUIN, the Trust’s mean LoS have been consistently near to or below that of regional and national peers. Over Q3 the length of stay has been substantially reduced to a position well below the current regional and national average LoS.

19. Crude mortality rate of sepsis cases, July-Dec 2016 (by quarter)
Given a primary diagnosis group of “Septicaemia (except in labour)”, the proportion of patients with an outcome of death, by quarter of discharge, for patients at JPUH; comparison to acute providers nationally and in the East of England.
JPUH figures for periods: Q2 10 deaths on 69 spells, Q3 11 deaths on 91 spells.
Source: Dr Foster Healthcare Intelligence Portal.
The work on the early identification and treatment of sepsis has also had an impact on the crude mortality rate. While nationally and the trend for Q3 was a rise, the Trust has managed to reduce its crude mortality rate. The Trust outperformed both the national and regional figures on almost all areas of the Sepsis CQUIN in Q3, and passed all areas of the screening part of the audit. By identifying the patients early the risk of the patient dying is substantially reduced.

20. PROUD OF THE PAGET
THE RELATIVE RISK OF MORTALITY AND READMISSION FOR SEPSIS PATIENTS WAS ALSO WELL BELOW THE EXPECTED AT THE END OF DECEMBER.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO DEVELOP SEPSIS, ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO BE IS AT THE JAMES PAGET UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL .

ANTIBIOTICS – THH GUIDELINES
HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA (HAP)
Pneumonia developing in a patient 72 hours after admission.
In non-ventilated patients
 Patients with no risk factors* who have not received antibiotics previously
Co-amoxiclav 1.2g IV tds 5-7 days
If no response within hours, consult the Microbiologist.
 Patients with risk factors*, and/or who have received antibiotics previously:
Discuss with team consultant / consultant microbiologist.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)
Co-amoxiclav 1.2g IV tds
*Risk factors:
Thoraco-abdominal surgery, prolonged ICU stay, immunosuppressive therapy.
ASPIRATION PNEUMONIA
Benzyl penicillin 1.2g IV qds +/- Clarithromycin 500mg PO/IV bd
Penicillin allergy: Clarithromycin 500mg IV bd

1.3 Hospital-acquired pneumonia
Antibiotic therapy
1.3.1 Offer antibiotic therapy as soon as possible after diagnosis, and certainly within
4 hours, to patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia.
1.3.2 Choose antibiotic therapy in accordance with local hospital policy (which
should take into account knowledge of local microbial pathogens) and clinical
circumstances for patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia.
1.3.3 Consider a 5- to 10-day course of antibiotic therapy for patients with
hospital-acquired pneumonia.
2.4 Hospital-acquired pneumonia
Can rapid microbiological diagnosis of hospital-acquired pneumonia reduce the use of extended spectrum
antibiotic therapy, without adversely affecting outcomes?
Why this is important
Data are limited on the microbiology of hospital-acquired pneumonia to guide antibiotic therapy.
Hospital-acquired infections can be caused by highly resistant pathogens that need treatment
with extended-spectrum antibiotics (for example, extended-spectrum penicillins, third-generation
cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, carbapenems, linezolid, vancomycin, or teicoplanin), as
recommended by British Society of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy guidance. Because routine
microbial tests lack sensitivity and take 24–48 hours to identify a causative pathogen, patient
characteristics are used to guide antibiotic choice. However, this may lead to unnecessary use of
extended-spectrum antibiotics in patients infected with non-resistant organisms, and
inappropriate use of first-line antibiotics (such as beta-lactam stable penicillins, macrolides or
doxycycline) in patients infected with resistant organisms.
Rapid diagnostic tests to identify causative bacterial pathogens and determine whether they are
resistant to antibiotics may have a role in guiding antibiotic choice for postoperative
Pneumonia NICE clinical guideline 191

27. Blood cultures
In all septic patients who are started on antibiotics irrespective of temperature.
Part of sepsis 6 bundle
Ideally, obtained prior to administration of antimicrobial therapy whilst adhering to strict ANTT procedures.
Adults – 2 bottles per set – Aerobic and Anaerobic
Very important to identify causative agent. Also enables antibiotic susceptibility testing

28. When IV antibiotics are administered to a septic patient within one hour, the mortality is reduced by half.
