Assessing Treatment of Severe
Sepsis and Septic Shock: How Are
We Performing?
A Case-Comparison Study to Evaluate the Treatment of
Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock in Critical Care Patients at
Sisters of Charity Hospital in Buffalo, NY
Erik Diringer, DO
Mentor: Thomas Brewer, DO
Background
• Severe sepsis and septic shock are complex
disease states that carry high rates of mortality.
– 28.6% overall and 38.4% in those >85 yrs. old1
• International efforts, such as the Surviving
Sepsis Campaign, have been made to define,
diagnose and treat sepsis in attempts to
improve morbidity and mortality2.
Background
• Evidence suggests that early goal-directed
therapy (EGDT) contributes to a significant
improvement in morality in severe sepsis and
septic shock3.
• On December 1, 2008, the Catholic Health
System released a new clinical standards order
set for the septic patient. This order set is
designed to utilize recommendations from the
Surviving Sepsis Campaign.
Introduction
• Definitions4:
– Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS)
– Sepsis is comprised of SIRS with a known source of
infection.
– Severe sepsis involves dysfunction in one or more
vital organs with hypotension that is responsive to
adequate fluid resuscitation.
– Septic shock is comprised of the same criteria,
however, it is not responsive to fluid resuscitation.
Introduction
• As a result of global tissue hypoxia, these
conditions can quickly progress to multiorgan
dysfunction syndrome (MODS), multiorgan
failure (MOF) and death5.
– Global tissue hypoxia is difficult to evaluate using
traditional hemodynamic measurements, such as
physical findings, vital signs, central venous
pressure (CVP), and urinary output.
Introduction
• The Cost of Sepsis
– Despite major advances in medicine and
technology, mortality rates remain high.
– In the United States, treatment of sepsis costs
$16.7 billion annually and is projected to increase
by 1.5% per year1.
Early Goal-Directed Therapy in the
Treatment of Severe Sepsis and
Septic Shock

SCVO2 Monitoring6
• Surrogate of global tissue hypoxia
– Sepsis results in increased metabolic stress at the
tissue level
– Response is to increase cardiac output and/or O2
utilization
– When O2 supply is overwhelmed by the disease,
SCVO2 continues to decrease (O2 demand > supply)
– Thus, SCVO2 is proposed to be a marker of
adequate O2 utilization at the tissue level as a
response to metabolic stress
EGDT Treatment
EGDT Results
• Significant (P=0.009) decrease in in-hospital
mortality from 46.5 to 30.5% when EGDT was
used over of standard therapy
– significant decrease in 28-day mortality
• Rapid identification and treatment
– These results were seen when therapy was
initiated immediately and continued for at least
six hours.
12/01/08 – CHS Sepsis Order Set
• 3 page admission order set
• Provides option to initiate EGDT
– Access: CVC, arterial line
– Monitoring: CVP/MAP monitoring, I/O
– Treatment: fluids, transfusions, vasopressors,
inotropic therapy
Study Objective
• The goal of this study is compare set
outcomes in patients at Sisters of Charity
Hospital (SOCH) in Buffalo, NY diagnosed with
severe sepsis and/or septic shock prior to and
following the release of the new sepsis order
set.
Study Design
• A case-comparison study of 100 ICU patients
with the diagnosis of severe sepsis and/or
septic shock prior to and following the release
of the sepsis standardized order set.
Methods
• Approved by SOCH Institutional Review Board
• Using December 1, 2008 as a reference, a
chart review of SOCH ICU patients with the
diagnosis of severe sepsis and/or septic shock
was performed until 100 charts that met
inclusion criteria were reviewed prior to and
following the release of the CHS sepsis order
set
Methods
• Inclusion criteria: similar to EGDT
– fulfillment of two of four criteria for SIRS
– systolic blood pressure no higher than 90 mm Hg
(after a crystalloid-fluid challenge) or a blood
lactate concentration 36 mg/dL
Methods
• Exclusion criteria:
–

ACS
Acute pulm. edema
Cardiac dysrhythmias (as
a primary diagnosis)
– active gastrointestinal
hemorrhage
– seizure/drug overdose
– contraindication to CVC
– burn injury/trauma
– requirement for
immediate surgery
– uncured cancer (during
chemotherapy)
– immunosuppression
– do-not-resuscitate status
Methods
• Data collection
– Hemodynamic parameters at 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24h
• Temp, HR, input, output (when available), systolic
pressure, diastolic pressure, MAP (calculated)

Discussion
• No significant difference in hemodynamic parameters
• SOCH mortality rate similar to those reported
nationally1
• CVP lines placed in 21% of pts
– Average time to line was 10.17h
• Average IVF in 1324ml in first 4h; 2467ml in first 8h
– EGDT averaged 4981ml in first 6h3
• Urine output only available in 24% of pts in first 4h
• Sepsis order set only used in 14% of pts
Can EGDT be done in real-world
clinical practice?
Discussion
• A 1-Year Experience With Implementing Early
Goal-Directed Therapy for Septic Shock in the
Emergency Department7
– Academic center in Camden, NJ
– 22 pts treated with EGDT protocol in ED
• Executed by ED/ICU physicians and nurses as part of regular
duties
– ED physicians identify and initiate
– ICU physicians ensure outcomes are achieved
– Required no extra staffing or modification to physical
plant
Discussion
• Future consideration
– Early identification of severe sepsis and septic shock
• Hemodynamic parameters, lab values
• “Door-to-EGDT” <60min in original trial3
– In-hospital mortality in STEMI 3% with door-to-balloon time
<90min8
– Collaboration between ED and ICU teams
– Modification of sepsis order set
• “Sepsis bundles”9
– Modification of EGDT?
Discussion
• Role of the resident
– Diagnosis of severe sepsis and septic shock
– EGDT
– Procedural competency
