Duration of hypotension before initiation of effective antimicrobial therapy is the critical determinant of survival in human septic shock. (Randomized clinical trial; 1260 patients), 4. Glasgow coma scale: to sum or not to sum. Even if we can agree on who is septic, it’s really hard, if not impossible to link the care to a pay-for-performance metric which is what CMS ultimately would like to see. Many ground 911 services have also adopted peripheral vasopressors in a variety of settings. Holst LB, Haase N, Wetterslev J, et al. Our national rates of antibiotic resistance are terrible, and yet we’re using more antibiotics all the time. But, there is a broad ddx to elevated lactate. I’m Jeff Nusbaum, and I’m back with my co-host, Nachi Gupta. qSOFA has 3 components: (1) respiratory rate > 22 breaths/min, (2) altered mental status, and (3) systemic blood pressure (SBP) ≤ 100 mm Hg. Norepi, not Dopamine - it doesn’t work! Does it help us meet our metrics, yes. Seymour et al retrospectively derived and internally validated the qSOFA in a 2016 study that included 148,907 patients with suspected infection, either inside or outside of the ICU setting. 2017;317(3):290-300.

J Trauma. Epub 2014 Sep 3. Term of approval begins 07/01/2018. Jeff: So get this -- one study showed that out-of-hospital shock index and respiratory rate were highly predictive of ICU admission. Dellinger RP, Levy MM, Rhodes A, et al. This should be your second line vasopressor for septic shock. There are simpler scores that have been shown to perform as well as the GCS for initial evaluation in the prehospital and emergency department setting; these are often contracted versions of the GCS itself. Bayer O, Schwarzkopf D, Stumme C, et al. EMS should focus primarily on stabilizing vital signs and providing efficient transport.

Moretti R, Pizzi B. Jeff: And I think that gets at the crux of the problem here: we don’t want to delay antibiotics on anybody, but we must balance this with the potential harm of further increasing the drug resistant bacterial population via sound antibiotic stewardship. Finding the source lets you make wise choices about therapy. You don’t necessarily have to use a bunch of Vanco, or a big gun antipseudomonal like Pip/tazo. The effect of vasoactive drugs on mortality in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. 2010;362(9):779-789. Jeff: And don’t forget importantly the 30-day hospital readmission rate. The modified GCS was developed to be used in a repeated manner in the inpatient setting to assess and communicate changes in a patient's mental status and to measure the duration of coma (Teasdale 1974). Powell ES, Sauser K, Cheema N, et al. Of course, these numbers would vary significantly based on where you practice. Nachi: Moving on, let’s talk imaging. CMS metrics have caused us to use to use more broad spectrum antibiotics. The benefits of sepsis protocols are measured one patient at a time, but the harms are only measured in the aggregate. Schuetz P, Kutz A, Grolimund E, et al. And yet another study showed that only 18 to 21% of confirmed septic patients were suspected of having sepsis by EMS. Just a reminder that a history of CHF doesn’t preclude proper fluid resuscitation. Predictors of patients who present to the emergency department with sepsis and progress to septic shock between 4 and 48 hours of emergency department arrival.
