The color purple on the ED manager acuity column or on the ED Track Board
What is an indication that a sepsis order set has been ordered
Acute respiratory failure with a new need for invasive/noninvasive ventilation (Bipap, Cpap, Vent) and CR >2 (Not on dialysis)
What are two organ dysfunction criteria?
SIRS
What is Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome?
Significance of #1
What is Sepsis is the #1 cause of readmissions, #1 cost of hospitalization, and #1 cause of death in U.S Hospitals
< SBP <90, MAP <60, or Lactic >4
What is Criteria for sepsis pt needing 30ml/kg
The color yellow on the ED manager acuity column or on the ED Track Board

What are three other risk factors of infection
Within 3 Hours
Repeat lactic needs to be collected by this time frame if the initial lactic was >2
Criteria for screening patients

What is severe sepsis
Increases mortality from septic shock by 8%
What is each hour delay in giving antibiotics?
Lactic >2
What is the significant value where repeat lactic needs to be collected within 3 HRS?
Starts when the ED sepsis BPA fires
