6 Perspective Severe Sepsis Acute coronary syndrome No. cases per 100,000 per annum NNT basic care Sepsis Six (our data) 6 First hour antibiotics 5 Clopidogrel 48 β-blockade 42 Aspirin 26 NNT invasive care EGDT (Rivers) 6 Thrombolysis 15 Resusc Bundle (SSC) 18 PCI over thrombolysis 33
7 Antibiotic Therapy We recommend that intravenous antibiotic therapy be started as early as possible and within the first hour of recognition of septic shock (1B) and severe sepsis without septic shock (1C). (Best Practice versus Stand of Care)
8 Antibiotics Multiple large, observational studies have shown the time to administration of antibiotics to be strongly associated with improve survival. Not aware of a single physician that recommends withholding or slowing down the time to antibiotics in a patient with severe sepsis. time to needle or door to balloon metric.
9 Antibiotics No randomized-controlled data Time from EGDT qualification to ABX Time from hypotension to appropriate ABX Gaieski DF, Mikkelsen ME, Band RA, et al. Impact of time to antibiotics on survival in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock in whom early goal-directed therapy was initiated in the emergency department*. Critical Care Medicine 2010;38(4): Kumar A, Roberts D, Wood KE, et al. Duration of hypotension before initiation of effective antimicrobial therapy is the critical determinant of survival in human septic shock*. Critical Care Medicine 2006;34(6):

13 Source Control No randomized-controlled data In necrotizing fasciitis, multiple case series have shown improvement with an aggressive operative approach. Sudarsky LA, Laschinger JC, Coppa GF, Spencer FC. Improved results from a standardized approach in treating patients with necrotizing fasciitis. Ann Surg 1987;206(5): Moss RL, Musemeche CA, Kosloske AM. Necrotizing fasciitis in children: Prompt recognition and aggressive therapy improve survival. J Pediatr Surg 1996;31: Freischlag JA, Ajalat G, Busuttil RW: Treatment of necrotizing soft tissue infections: The need for a new approach.

14 Source Control Don t be satisfied with a diagnosis of sepsis and no source. If a source exists and is potentially removable, get the ball rolling.
15 Antibiotic Therapy Initial empiric anti-infective therapy activity against all likely pathogens and adequate concentrations into suspected or potential sources of infection (1B) Reassess antibiotic regimen daily for deescalation (1B)
16 Difficult diagnosis Not all patients have classic SIRS Clinical diagnosis requiring experience and high index of suspicion for interpretation of history/symptoms/signs Signs often subtle Some groups at special risk eg infants, age > 65, neutropenia, haemodialysis, diabetes mellitus, alcoholism, lung disease, patients with invasive devices Laupland et al Crit Care Med 2004
17 Common signs & symptoms of sepsis Tachypnoea 99% Tachycardia 97% Fever > 38 degrees 70% Hypothermia 13% Metabolic acidosis 38% Acute oliguria 54% Acute encephalopathy 35% Accurate and routine measurement of respiratory rate is essential Brun-Buisson C et al, JAMA: 274(12), 27 Sept, 1995

21 The right antibiotic is crucial Take blood cultures before antibiotics but do not delay antibiotics to undertake investigations or await results Start antibiotic therapy within 60 minutes Use bolus administration where possible REMEMBER: one dose is safer than not treating at all PRESCRIBE IT... GET IT... GIVE IT... NOW!!!

25 Blood Cultures
26 Commonly used classification of bacteremias into 3 categories: transient (bacteremia lasts for a short amount of time and can be caused by actions such as brushing of teeth or after gastrointestinal biopsy), intermittent (recurring bacteremia due to discontinuous seeding of the same organisms, which can be caused by infections such as abscesses), and persistent or sustained (bacteremia occurring over a prolonged period that is usually associated with infections such as infective endocarditis). Seifert H Clin Infect Dis. 2009;48:S238-S by the Infectious Diseases Society of America
27
28 Diagnosis 1. To optimize identification of causative organisms, we recommend at least two blood cultures be obtained before antimicrobial therapy is administered as long as such cultures do not cause significant delay (>45 minutes) in antimicrobial administration, with at least one drawn percutaneously and one drawn through each vascular access device, unless the device was recently (<48 hr.) inserted (Grade 1C).
29 Blood cultures
30 2. Blood cultures Take blood cultures BEFORE starting antibiotics Take two blood cultures from separate sites if possible Obtain other cultures: urine, CSF, faeces, wound swabs, sputum, other fluids from within cavities, Consult specialty teams early for source control

39 Factors to consider when choosing antibiotics patient's recent antibiotic therapy Hospital flora presence of underlying diseases available culture data current AND past risk for drug resistant pathogens: receipt of antibiotics within the preceding 90 days current hospitalization of 5 days antibiotic resistance in the community immunosuppressive disease and/or therapy presence of risk factors for resistance
40 Choosing an antibiotic: Think about Location: Where did the patient become ill? Travel? Exposure? Where did the infection anatomically originate? Where in the body, has or will the infection spread to? Think about the bug you are treating:
41 Resistance & prescribing MRSA consider vancomycin (or linezolid or teicoplanin) VRE consider linezolid or daptomycin ESBL consider carbapenem or alternative agent e.g. cipro or gent if sensitivities are known CPE d/w Microbiology re tigecycline, colistin, fosfomycin etc Group A strep consider high dose clinda
42 Mortality & Multidrug-Resistant Organisms Association between development of antimicrobial resistance in Staphylococcus aureus, enterococci, and Gram-negative bacilli and mortality 1 Pseudomonas aeruginosa is increasingly resistant to fluoroquinolones, with a number of consequences, including infection-related mortality 2 Enterococcal infections have been associated with mortality rates exceeding 30% 3 1.

52 Antibiotic allergy
53 Antibiotic allergy In the setting of severe sepsis / septic shock carbapenems (e.g. meropenem) can be used in those with a history of penicillin allergy provided No features of immediate hypersensitivity No severe prior reaction i.e. a prior history of a non-severe, delayed rash does not preclude the use of meropenem
54 Penicillin allergy If history of immediate hypersensitivity or severe prior reaction d/w Microbiology Reasonable approach would be: Vancomycin + cipro + metro + single dose of gentamicin Review / rationalise and deescalate with progress and results of investigations

61 Antimicrobial stewardship
62 Antimicrobial Prescribing Empiric Initial administration of a broad-spectrum antibiotic regimen that attempts to improve outcomes and minimize resistance. Defined or Targeted Modification of antimicrobial therapy once the cause of infection is identified. Therapy may also be discontinued if the diagnosis of infection becomes unlikely. 1 Focus on de-escalation of antibiotic therapy with the goal of minimizing resistance and toxicity, and improving costeffectiveness. 2,3 1.

69 Hospital Mortality by Time to Antibiotics
70 Hospital Mortality by Time to Antibiotics
71 Antibiotic Therapy We recommend that intravenous antibiotic therapy be started as early as possible and within the first hour of recognition of septic shock (1B) and severe sepsis without septic shock (1C). Remark: Although the weight of evidence supports prompt administration of antibiotics following the recognition of severe sepsis and septic shock, the feasibility with which clinicians may achieve this ideal state has not been scientifically validated.
72 Definitions A continuum of severity describing the host systemic inflammatory response
73 SIRS SIRS systemic inflammatory response syndrome Must have at least 2 of the following: Temperature >38.5ºC or <36ºC Heart rate >90 beats/min Respiratory rate >20 breaths/min or PaCO2 <32 mmhg WBC >12,000 cells/mm3, <4000 cells/mm3, or >10 % immature (band) forms SIRS is the body s response to infection, inflammation, stress.
74 Sepsis and Severe Sepsis Sepsis SIRS + suspected or confirmed infection (documented via cultures or visualized via physical exam/imaging) Severe Sepsis Sepsis + at least one sign of organ hypo-perfusion or dysfunction Areas of mottled skin Capillary refill > 3 secs UOP < 0.5cc/kg /hr Lactate > 2mmol /L Disseminated intravascular coagulation AKI Altered mental status Plt < 100 Abnormal EEG ARDS or acute lung injury (ALI) Cardiac dysfunction on echo Troponin Leak

97 Evaluation of the Patient Baseline patient data critical for appropriate work-up Donor/recipient serologies (CMV, EBV, HSV, VZV, Toxoplasma) Underlying disease Time post-transplant Allograft function Prophylactic medications Rejection (and its treatment)
98 Evaluation of the Patient (cont.) Early and aggressive diagnostic investigation - adequate tissue - routine staging Appropriate notification and coordination with pathology and microbiology laboratories
99 Timetable of Infections After Organ Transplantation General guidelines, NOT absolute Epidemiology altered by prophylaxis Unusual timing may be a clue to unusual exposure
100 Early Period (first post-transplant month) Nosocomial/ surgical infections Multi-drug resistant organisms (e.g., GNR, MRSA, VRE) Importance of adjunctive therapy (anatomical problems, adequate drainage) Opportunistic infections are uncommon (except Aspergillus, Candida, HSV in absence of prophylaxis)
101 Middle Period (from post-transplant months 2-6) Greatest risk period for classic opportunists (e.g., PCP, Aspergillus, Toxoplasma, Cryptococcus, etc.) Immunomodulating viruses (e.g., CMV, EBV, HHV-6)
102 Late Period (after the 6 th post-transplant month) Typical community-acquired infections in patients with good allograft function Continued risk of opportunistic infections in patients with poor allograft infection and/or chronic rejection
103 General Concepts (cont.) Signs and symptoms of infection are muted by immunosuppression Specific, predictable risk periods for specific pathogens (unusual timing may be a clue to exposure) Link between immunosuppression and infection risk Consider the possibility of donor-derived infection (viral, fungal, bacterial, mycobacterial, etc.)
