- acute lung injury
- renal failure
- hepatic failure
-cardiac dysfxn
is bp in sirs criteria
no
only temp, pulse, hr, wbc, bands
pathogenesis of sepsis

complex interactions b/t the host and the virulent org
- host responses, give the types
- immune response
- pro and inflammatory response
- procoagulant response
pathogensis of sepsis

immune response
- bacteria illicit an immune response by producing cell wall products

Cell wall products
• Lipoteichoicacid
–Gram positive bacteria
• Lipopolysaccharide
–Gram negative bacteria
• Mannan
–Fungi
pathogenesis of sepsis

pro inflam response
• Macrophages and monocytes
–Release pro-inflammatory cytokines
• TNF-alpha , interleukins
–Activate coagulation cascade and block fibrinolysis
• Cytokines and bradykinin
–Induce inappropriate vasodilation

• Inflammatory mediators can cause
vasodilation, endothelial damage, and increased capillary permeability
–Fluid shifting (third spacing) can lead to an increased in the volume of distribution
sepsis or sirs has the greatest risk of clots
sirs
pathogenesis of sepsis

procoagulant response
• Alteration in procoagulantand anticoagulant
balance
–Increase tissue factors
• Activation of the coagulation cascade
–Decrease anticoagulant factors
• Protein C, protein S, antithrombinIII
t/f

fibrin cz clot --> clot will dislodge --> cz target organ damage
true , give drugs to prevent this
dic means
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
def dic
def frm ref:
Disseminated intravascular coagulation, or DIC, is a bleeding disorder resulting from the widespread overstimulation of the body's clotting and anticlotting mechanisms in response to illness, stress, or both. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) occurs mainly within the capillaries or the microcirculation. It is a secondary complication of a diverse group of disorders that activate, in some way, the coagulation system.

dr. nguyens notes

–Intravascular deposition of fibrin
• Thrombosis of blood vessels leading to organ dysfunction
–Depletion of platelets
• Bleeding
causes of dic
main one
• Sepsis (main)
• Trauma (2nd)
• Cancer (3rd)

• Obstetrical complications
• Vascular disorders
• Reactions to toxins
• Immunologic disorders
5 diagnosis criteria for dic
1) Thrombocytopenia
–<100,000 mm3

2) Prolongation of clotting time
–Increase PT and aPTT

3) Increase fibrin-degradation

4) Depleted anticoagulants

5) Decrease fibrinogen
–Acute-phase reactant
name the categories of clinical manifestations of sepsis
- inflammation signs
- vital signs abnormalities
- neuro syx
- hematologic
- anaerobmic metabolsim
- electrolyte abnormalities
- organ damage
clinical manifestations of sepsis

signs of inflammations
–Redness, swelling, heat, pain
–Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate
clinical manifestations of

vital signs abnormalities
-Hemodynamic instable
–Tachypnea
clincial manifiestations of sepsis

neuro syx
–Decrease level of conscious (LOC)
clincial manifiestations of sepsis
hematologic
–Leukocytosis, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia
clincial manifiestations of sepsis
anerobic metab
–Serum lactate > 4mmol/L
clincial manifiestations of sepsis
electrolyte abnormalities
-acidosis
clincial manifiestations of sepsis
organ damage
–Renal
• Decrease urine output
–Hepatic
• Increase liver enzymes and decrease function
–Respiratory
• Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
–Gastrointestinal
• Decrease perfusion
abx that covers psa
-pipercillin
-ticarcillin
- zosyn
- aztreonam
- timentin
- carbapenem (except ertapenum)
- ceftazidime
- cefepime
- cipro
-amg
- levo
normal urine output
1 cc/kg/hr
dx of sepsis
• Patient history and physical exam
• Cultures (blood, sputum, urine, etc.)
• CBC with differential
• Chem 7 (BUN, SCr)
• Lactate level
• Coagulation tests
• Liver function tests
• Arterial blood gas
sepsis mgm look at
- hemodynamic instability
- hemodynamic monitoring
- surviving sepsis: abx, resusitation and supportive tx
hemodynamic equations

bp
co
svr
map
Blood Pressure= CO X SVR

co=cardiac index

CO=HR X Stroke Volume

Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR) = 80 x (MAP- CVP) / CO

Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) = 1/3 systolic BP + 2/3 diastolic BP
3 things to inc heart rate
- give prbc
- give inotropes to inc heart rate
- give fluids
def of hemodynamic instablity
dec in sbp >40
-sbp <90
- map <70
hemodynamic monitoring looks at
- cvp (central venous pressure)
- oxygen sat
- pulmonary artery catheter ( swan ganz catheter) --> dx types of shock by looking at ci, svr, and pcwp
normal cvp is

in sepsis
2-6 mmHG

want higher than this
how does this affect ci, svr, and pcwp

hypovolemic shock
ci= dec
svr= inc
pcwp= dec
how does this affect ci, svr, and pcwp
cardiogenic shock
ci= dec
svr= inc
pcwp= inc
how does this affect ci, svr, and pcwp
