Sepsis Paul Szczybor PA-C
The Name Game • Sepsis • Severe Sepsis • Septic Shock Septicemia Urosepsis
What Sepsis is NOT… • Bacteremia • Metabolic acidosis • Patient looks toxic!
SIRS Infection Sepsis
Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) • Temperature: >100.4˚(38˚C) or < 96.8˚(36˚C) • Heart Rate: > 90 beats per minute • Respiratory Rate: > 20 breaths per minute or PaCO2 < 32mm Hg • WBC count: >12,000 or <4,000 or > 10% Bands
Sepsis SIRS + infection Severe Sepsis Sepsis + end organ dysfunction Septic Shock Severe sepsis + ↓BP unresponsive to IVF
End Organ Dysfunction Cardiovascular CNS Pulmonary Renal Hematologic GI
“…except on a few occasions the patient appears to die from the body’s response to the infection rather than from it.” Sir William Osler 1904
Proinflammatory Mediators Infection Cytokines SIRS Endothelial cell dysfunction
Endothelial Cell Dysfunction Microvascular thrombi Platelet clumping Unable to regulate blood flow Microvascular permeability Vasodilation Fluid transudation Ischemia Organ dysfunction / Shock SIRS
Severe Sepsis is Common* Rate per 100,000 Population † * Calculated data based on information compiled from the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, National Center for Health Statistics and the US Census Bureau (1995-1999) † Severe sepsis mortality rates range from 28%-50% (79/100,000 to 141/100,000 population).
