ED doc here - they get a 30 cc/kg bolus (if very overweight I will sometimes use ideal body weight), Abx based on suspected source or our order set has an “unknown source” option, fever control. If after fluid bolus were hypotensive, we’re supposed to do a volume reassessment. Most popular is POCUS to look for inspiratory collapse of the IVC

Difference between sepsis,septicemia,septic shock and SIRS??

Sirs criteria is great and all but you can meet 2 of those & a source with an ear infection/flu/strep throat and then comes the rationale/gestalt to add on a lactic & cultures & do the whole thing when a lot of the time that's not necessary. I struggle with it as a new grad er pa

ER RN here, all of those + BP map equal or <60 and 1 or 2 suspected source of infection. If 2 or more criteria apply, initiate Sepsis protocol. Rainbow,lactic pro calcitonin, BC x2. Most of the time pts come in already looking sick. Sick/ not sick. Love ER!

labor and delivery....99% of the time it's the uterus that's the source! Nothing else!

30cc/kg of fluids is the appropriate amount :)

Within the first 60 mins all labs and cultures should be drawn, 1st broad spectrum abx should be going and 30mls per ideal body weight should also be started

In the pulmonary/critical care world we are already done with SIRS, moving away from 30 mL/kg bolus and are diuresing patients who have stuff like septic cardiomyopathy instead of reflexively giving fluids

Carissa Plug :
For CMS criteria, an initial lactic greater than 2 is Severe Sepsis, greater than 4 would qualify for Septic Shock. You mentioned the ventilator for SIRS, that would be considered an end organ failure (respiratory failure). Great info!

ED RN in Virginia, our sepsis protocols change ALL THE TIME, it’s honestly a lot lol. We previously did sepsis watch or sepsis alerts. Our sepsis alert triggers when they have 2 or more criteria and a source. It was also provider discretion. We got rid of the watches pretty recently. Let me see if I can find our protocol.

Sepsis 3 guidelines are most up to date. Literature has leaned away from SIRS and qSOFA definitions, but they’re still used. 30cc/kg sepsis bolus and antibiotics within first hour of presentation are prioritized

Paramedics saved my life from impending sepsis. A good friend previously had sepsis and gave sepsis awareness lectures - so I knew what I was facing. Appendix burst whilst driving - no cell service so kept driving and just managed to get home. By the time paras here I told them I was concerned re sepsis, moments before I passed out. A severe drop in body extremity temps, feeling of death, severe shivering, BP in my boots, major rapid heartbeat… Those heroes put me straight on antibiotics at home before transport. I wouldn’t have made it without their rapid interventions. I was very very lucky. Surgeon said my insides were a mess. #NotAllHeroesWearCapes

At my hospital, we do a sepsis screen on admission and with each vital. If two or more flag outside parameters, a code sepsis is called. You have 30 mins to notify doctor, collect specimens, and start antibiotics.
