Pathophysiology
Infection plus SIRS
What is Sepsis?
A proven way to drive sepsis bundle compliance
What is the green sheet and sepsis order set?
This percentage represents the nationwide mortality rate for sepsis
What is 30-50%?
These 3 types of infections are the most common causes of sepsis
What is pneumonia, UTI, and wounds/cellulitis?
The percentage of sepsis occurs in the community
What is approximately 85%?
Infection plus 2 or more SIRS and at least 1 sign of organ dysfunction
What is severe sepsis?
Lactate, blood cultures, and antibiotics must be done
What is within the 3 hours of severe sepsis time zero?
Sepsis mortality increases every hour by this much with treatment delay
What is 8% per hour?
The use of this device increases a patient's risk of Urosepsis
What is a Foley catheter?
Two or more SBPs or MAPS less than this within a 6 hour period meets severe sepsis criteria
What is a SBP <90 or MAP <65?
Lactate 4.0 or greater
What is septic shock?
The Gold Standard for initiating antibiotics and fluids
What is within one hour of severe sepsis?
This percentage of patients are readmitted to the hospital within 90 days after being discharged with sepsis
What is 40%?
These are two simple ways to decrease the risk of sepsis
What are hand hygiene and daily bathing?
Long-term physical and emotional symptoms that can last for months or even years after recovering from sepsis
What is post-sepsis syndrome?
This is the number one organ failure found in sepsis
What is kidney failure?
You must look back this many hours to accurately complete the sepsis screening
What is 6 hours?
The higher number of these failures, the higher the sepsis mortality
What is organ failures?
Organisms that have the potential to cause sepsis
What are bacteria, virus, and fungus?
This is key to improving patient outcomes in sepsis
What is early recognition of sepsis?
This is the reason that lactic acid elevates in sepsis
What is tissue hypoperfusion?
Serum lactate is repeated after IVFs if initial lactate is greater than this
What is 2.0?
How many adults develop sepsis each year?
What is 1.7 million?
This type of infection frequently leads to an increase in Bilirubin
What is Cholangitis or Cholecystitis?
This website has the most up to date information on sepsis for healthcare professionals, patients, and their caregivers
What is the Sepsis Alliance?
