SEPSIS AND SEPTIC SHOCK
PATHOGENESIS
The host response to sepsis involves multiple mechanisms that lead to decreased oxygen delivery (DO2) at the tissue level. The inflammatory response is typically initiated by an interaction between pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) expressed by pathogens and pattern recognition receptors expressed by innate immune cells on the cell surface ( Toll-like receptors [TLRs] and C-type lectin receptors [CLRs]), in the endosome (TLRs) or in the cytoplasm (retinoic acid inducible gene 1– like receptors and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain–like receptors [NLRs]).
The resulting tissue damage and necrotic cell death lead to release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) such as uric acid, high-mobility group protein B1, S100 proteins, and extracellularRNA , DNA, and histones. These molecules promote the activation of leukocytes, leading to greater endothelial dysfunction, expression of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) on the activated endothelium, coagulation activation and complement activation.
This cascade is compounded by macrovascular changes such as vasodilation and hypotension, which are exacerbated by greater endothelial leak tissue edema, and relative intravascular hypovolemia . Subsequent alterations in cellular bioenergetics lead to greater glycolysis (e.g., lactate production), mitochondrial injury, release of reactive oxygen species, and greater organ dysfunction.
DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA
Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score ranges from 0 to 24 points, with up to 4 points accrued across six organ systems. The SOFA score is widely studied in the ICU among patients with infection, sepsis, and shock. With ≥2 new SOFA points, the infected patient is considered septic and may be at ≥10% risk of in-hospital death.
Quick SOFA ( qSOFA ) score was proposed as a clinical prompt to identify patients at high risk of sepsis outside the ICU qSOFA score ranges from 0 to 3 points, with 1 point each for systolic hypotension (≤100 mmHg), tachypnea (≥22breaths/min)or altered mentation. A qSOFA score of ≥2 points has a predictive value for sepsis similar to that of more complicated measures of organ dysfunction.
Elements of Care in Sepsis and Septic Shock Resuscitation Sepsis and septic shock constitute an emergency, and treatment should begin right away. Resuscitation with IV crystalloid fluid (30 mL/kg) should begin within the first 3 h. Saline or balanced crystalloids are suggested for resuscitation. If the clinical examination does not clearly identify the diagnosis, hemodynamic assessments (e.g., with focused cardiac ultrasound) can be considered.
In patients with elevated serum lactate levels, resuscitation should be guided towards normalizing these levels when possible. In patients with septic shock requiring vasopressors, the recommended target mean arterial pressure is 65 mmHg. Hydroxyethyl starches and gelatins are not recommended. Norepinephrine is recommended as the first-choice vasopressor.
Vasopressin should be used with the intent of reducing the norepinephrine dose. The use of dopamine should be avoided except in specific situations—e.g., in those patients at highest risk of tachyarrhythmias or relative bradycardia . Dobutamine use is suggested when patients show persistent evidence of hypoperfusion despite adequate fluid loading and use of vasopressors. Red blood cell transfusion is recommended only when the hemoglobin concentration decreases to <7.0 g/ dL in the absence of acute myocardial infarction, severe hypoxemia, or acute hemorrhage.
Infection Control So long as no substantial delay is incurred, appropriate samples for microbiologic cultures should be obtained before antimicrobial therapy is started. IV antibiotics should be initiated as soon as possible (within 1 h); specifically, empirical broad-spectrum therapy should be used to cover all likely pathogens. Antibiotic therapy should be narrowed once pathogens are identified and their sensitivities determined and/or once clinical improvement is evident. If needed, source control should be undertaken as soon as is medically and logistically possible. Daily assessment for de- esclation of antimicrobial therapy should be conducted.
Respiratory Support A target tidal volume of 6 mL/kg of predicted body weight (compared with 12 mL/kg in adult patients) is recommended in sepsis-induced ARDS. A higher PEEP rather than a lower PEEP is used in moderate to severe sepsis-induced ARDS. In severe ARDS (PaO2 /FIO2 , <150 mmHg), prone positioning is recommended, and recruitment maneuvers and/or neuromuscular blocking agents for ≤48 h are suggested. A conservative fluid strategy should be used in sepsis-induced ARDS if there is no evidence of tissue hypoperfusion . Routine use of a pulmonary artery catheter is not recommended. Spontaneous breathing trials should be used in mechanically ventilated patients who are ready for weaning
General Supportive Care Patients requiring a vasopressor should have an arterial catheter placed as soon as is practical. Hydrocortisone is not suggested in septic shock if adequate fluids and vasopressor therapy can restore hemodynamic stability. Continuous or intermittent sedation should be minimized in mechanically ventilated sepsis patients, with titration targets used whenever possible. A protocol-based approach to blood glucose management should be used in ICU patients with sepsis, with insulin dosing initiated when two
Consecutive blood glucose levels are >180 mg/ dL . Continuous or intermittent renal replacement therapy should be used in patients with sepsis and acute kidney injury. Pharmacologic prophylaxis (unfractionated heparin or low-molecular-weight heparin) against venous thromboembolism should be used in the Absence of contraindications. Stress ulcer prophylaxis should be given to patients with risk factors for gastrointestinal bleeding.

CARDIOGENIC SHOCK CS is a low cardiac output state resulting in life-threatening end-organ hypoperfusion and hypoxia. The clinical presentation is typicallycharacterized by persistent hypotension (<90 mmHg systolic blood pressure [BP]) unresponsive to volume replacement and is accompanied byclinical features of peripheral hypoperfusion , such as elevated arterial lactate (>2 mmol /L).

Hemodynamic Patterns
Cardiogenic SHOCK Mangement
HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK Hypovolemic shock encompasses disease processes that reduce CO (and oxygen delivery) via a reduction in preload. In addition to the reduced CO this shock type is characterized by an elevated SVR and low CVP and PCWP related to decreased intravascular volume. Any process causing a reduction in intravascular volume can cause shock of this type. Hypovolemic shock most commonly is related to hemorrhage, that may be external (secondary to trauma) or internal (most commonly upperor lower gastrointestinal [GI]) bleeding
Classification of hypovolumic shock
Management of hypovolumic shock
Neurogenic shock Results in spinal cord trauma (usually T5 or above)or spinal anaesthesia Injury results in major vasodilation without compensation due to loss of sympathetic nervous system vasoconstrictor tone Major vasodilation leads to pooling of blood in blood vessel, tissue hypoperfusion and impaired cellular metabolism
Spinal anaesthesiacan block transmission of impulse from SNS result in neurogenic shock CLINICAL FEATURES Hypotension Bradycardia Inability to maintain temperature
TREATMENT High dose steroid to reduce inflammation Elevate and maintain HOB 30 degree Support cardiovascular and neurologic function Prevent pooling of blood in lower extremity
Anaphylactic shock Acute and life threatening allergic reaction to sensitizing substance Immediate response causing massive vasodilation release of vasodilator mediator and increase capillary permeability Can lead to respiratory distress due to laryngeal edema or severe bronchospasm and circulatory failure due to vasodilation
SYMPTOMS Cheat pain Dizziness Incontinence Swelling of lips and tongue Wheezing ans stridor Angioedema Anxious and confused Utricaria, Flushing, pruritis
Treatment Airway management Epinephrine.0.3 sq or im to vastus lateralis BLS /ACTS Asses for allergies
