Sepsis
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome with a proven or suspected infectious etiology. When sepsis is associated with organ dysfunction distant from the site of infection, it is called severe sepsis. When sepsis is accompanied by HYPOTENSION despite adequate fluid infusion, it is called SEPTIC SHOCK.
Shock, Septic
Sepsis associated with HYPOTENSION or hypoperfusion despite adequate fluid resuscitation. Perfusion abnormalities may include, but are not limited to LACTIC ACIDOSIS; OLIGURIA; or acute alteration in mental status.
Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome
A systemic inflammatory response to a variety of clinical insults, characterized by two or more of the following conditions: (1) fever >38 degrees C or HYPOTHERMIA 90 beat/minute; (3) tachypnea >24 breaths/minute; (4) LEUKOCYTOSIS >12,000 cells/cubic mm or 10% immature forms. While usually related to infection, SIRS can also be associated with noninfectious insults such as TRAUMA; BURNS; or PANCREATITIS. If infection is involved, a patient with SIRS is said to have SEPSIS.
Cecum
The blind sac or outpouching area of the LARGE INTESTINE that is below the entrance of the SMALL INTESTINE. It has a worm-like extension, the vermiform APPENDIX.
Punctures
Incision of tissues for injection of medication or for other diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. Punctures of the skin, for example may be used for diagnostic drainage; of blood vessels for diagnostic imaging procedures.
Multiple Organ Failure
A progressive condition usually characterized by combined failure of several organs such as the lungs, liver, kidney, along with some clotting mechanisms, usually postinjury or postoperative.
Bacteremia
The presence of viable bacteria circulating in the blood. Fever, chills, tachycardia, and tachypnea are common acute manifestations of bacteremia. The majority of cases are seen in already hospitalized patients, most of whom have underlying diseases or procedures which render their bloodstreams susceptible to invasion.
Intensive Care Units
Hospital units providing continuous surveillance and care to acutely ill patients.
Endotoxemia
A condition characterized by the presence of ENDOTOXINS in the blood. On lysis, the outer cell wall of gram-negative bacteria enters the systemic circulation and initiates a pathophysiologic cascade of pro-inflammatory mediators.
Ligation
Application of a ligature to tie a vessel or strangulate a part.
Critical Illness
A disease or state in which death is possible or imminent.
APACHE
An acronym for Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation, a scoring system using routinely collected data and providing an accurate, objective description for a broad range of intensive care unit admissions, measuring severity of illness in critically ill patients.
Calcitonin
A peptide hormone that lowers calcium concentration in the blood. In humans, it is released by thyroid cells and acts to decrease the formation and absorptive activity of osteoclasts. Its role in regulating plasma calcium is much greater in children and in certain diseases than in normal adults.
Lipopolysaccharides
Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed)
Infant, Newborn
An infant during the first month after birth.
Peritonitis
INFLAMMATION of the PERITONEUM lining the ABDOMINAL CAVITY as the result of infectious, autoimmune, or chemical processes. Primary peritonitis is due to infection of the PERITONEAL CAVITY via hematogenous or lymphatic spread and without intra-abdominal source. Secondary peritonitis arises from the ABDOMINAL CAVITY itself through RUPTURE or ABSCESS of intra-abdominal organs.

Anti-Bacterial Agents
Substances that reduce the growth or reproduction of BACTERIA.
Cytokines
Non-antibody proteins secreted by inflammatory leukocytes and some non-leukocytic cells, that act as intercellular mediators. They differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. They generally act locally in a paracrine or autocrine rather than endocrine manner.
Critical Care
Health care provided to a critically ill patient during a medical emergency or crisis.
Endotoxins
Toxins closely associated with the living cytoplasm or cell wall of certain microorganisms, which do not readily diffuse into the culture medium, but are released upon lysis of the cells.

Clindamycin plus gentamicin as expectant therapy for presumed mixed infections. (1/5981)

The prevalence of obligate anaerobes was studied prospectively in 60 patients with severe sepsis of intra-abdominal, soft tissue, female genital or oropulmonary origin. In addition, the efficacy of clindamycin (for anaerobes) plus gentamicin (for aerobic bacteria, especially coliforms) as initial empiric therapy in these patients was evaluated. Among 54 patients with cultural proof of infection, anaerobic pathogens were recovered from 52%. Nineteen patients had bacteremia; Bacteroides fragilis and Klebsiella pneumoniae were the most prevalent pathogens, being isolated in five patients each. Infection was eradicated in 56 of the 60 patients (93%). Mortality related to sepsis was 7% in the entire group, 16% in patients with bacteremia and 2% in patients without bacteremia. Eighty-five percent of aerobic isolates tested were susceptible in vitro to either gentamicin or clindamycin; 97% of anaerobic isolates were inhibited by 5 mug/ml of clindamycin.  (+info)

Effect of warfarin on the induction and course of experimental endocarditis. (2/5981)

The effect of warfarin treatment on an experimental endocarditis was studied in rabbits. Warfarin had no effect on the induction of a Streptococcus sanguis infection in catheter-induced endocardial vegetations, and the course of this infection was also unaltered. However, warfarin treatment resulted in rapidly progressive bacteremia, probably due to impaired circulation in clearing organs such as the lungs, liver, and spleen. Warfarin also reduced the survival time of the infected rabbits, in which pulmonary edema and extensive lung hemorrhages may have been a contributory factor.  (+info)

HLA-DR expression and soluble HLA-DR levels in septic patients after trauma. (3/5981)

OBJECTIVE: To determine if cellular and soluble HLA-DR molecules may be relevant in severely injured patients for the development of gram-positive or gram-negative sepsis. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: HLA-DR molecules play a central role in the specific immune response to infection. The reduced HLA-DR expression on monocytes is considered to correlate with infectious complications and the development of sepsis. Data on the role of HLA-DR expression on T cells and soluble HLA-DR molecules are rare. METHODS: HLA-DR expression on monocytes and T cells was measured by flow cytometry. Plasma levels of soluble HLA-DR were studied by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: HLA-DR expression on circulating T cells, calculated as mean fluorescence intensity in channels, was reduced at day 1 after admission in 20 patients with subsequent severe sepsis compared with 46 patients without sepsis. The septic patients immediately after trauma had significantly lower soluble HLA-DR plasma levels than the nonseptic patients. At day 2 after admission, HLA-DR expression on monocytes was significantly lower in the severe sepsis group than in the patients without sepsis, and lasted until day 14 after injury. CONCLUSIONS: In severely injured patients, decreased levels of cellular and soluble HLA-DR appear as early indicators of an immune deviation associated with the development of severe sepsis. Moreover, immune alterations of different cell types may promote distinct kinds of septicemia.  (+info)

Protective effect of bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (rBPI21) in baboon sepsis is related to its antibacterial, not antiendotoxin, properties. (4/5981)

OBJECTIVE AND SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: The recombinant fragment of bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein, rBPI21, has potent bactericidal activity against gram-negative bacteria as well as antiendotoxin (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) action. On the basis of these activities, the authors sought to discover whether rBPI21 would be protective in baboons with live Escherichia coli-induced sepsis and whether the potential protective effects of rBPI21 (together with antibiotics) would be more closely related to its antibacterial or LPS-neutralizing effects. METHODS: In a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled subchronic laboratory study, the efficacy of rBPI21 or placebo was studied over 72 hours in chronically instrumented male baboons infused with live E. coli under antibiotic therapy. RESULTS: Intravenous rBPI21 attenuated sepsis-related organ failure and increased survival significantly. Bacteremia was significantly reduced in the rBPI21 group at 2 hours after the start of the E. coli infusion, whereas circulating LPS was less affected. The in vivo formation of tumor necrosis factor was significantly suppressed by the rBPI21 treatment regimen. Microcirculation and organ function were improved. CONCLUSIONS: In baboon live E. coli sepsis, the salutary effect of rBPI21 results from a more prevalent antibacterial than antiendotoxin activity.  (+info)

A sustained rat model for studying the long-lasting catabolic state of sepsis. (5/5981)

Most animal models of sepsis induced high mortality or early recovery and do not mimic the long-lasting catabolic state observed in patients. The purpose of this study is to develop a model of sepsis which reproduces these disorders, especially the long-lasting muscle wasting. This report summarizes our observations in a series of seven experiments using this model with rats to study the route of live Escherichia coli administration, dose of bacteria, reproducibility of the model, bacterial count in tissues, comparison of injection of live or dead bacteria, metabolic perturbations linked to infection, and potential role of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in muscle wasting. After intravenous infection, animals were anorexic and the catabolic state was long-lasting: body weight loss for 2 to 3 days followed by a chronic wasting state for several days. Liver, spleen, lung protein content, and plasma concentration of alpha2-macroglobulin were increased 2 and 6 days after infection. At 6 days, muscle protein content was substantially (-40%) reduced. The plasma TNF-alpha level measured 1.5 h after infection correlated with body weight loss observed 9 days later. The inhibition of TNF-alpha secretion by administration of pentoxifylline 1 h before infection reduced muscle wasting and activation of proteolysis at day 2 and abolished them at day 6. This septic model mimics in rats the prolonged protein metabolism alterations and muscle atrophy characteristics of infected patients and thus is useful for studying the impact of nutritional support on outcome.  (+info)

Early death during chemotherapy in patients with small-cell lung cancer: derivation of a prognostic index for toxic death and progression. (6/5981)

Based on an increased frequency of early death (death within the first treatment cycle) in our two latest randomized trials of combination chemotherapy in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), we wanted to identify patients at risk of early non-toxic death (ENTD) and early toxic death (ETD). Data were stored in a database and logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictive factors for early death. During the first cycle, 118 out of 937 patients (12.6%) died. In 38 patients (4%), the cause of death was sepsis. Significant risk factors were age, performance status (PS), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and treatment with epipodophyllotoxins and platinum in the first cycle (EP). Risk factors for ENTD were age, PS and LDH. Extensive stage had a hazard ratio of 1.9 (P = 0.07). Risk factors for ETD were EP, PS and LDH, whereas age and stage were not. For EP, the hazard ratio was as high as 6.7 (P = 0.0001). We introduced a simple prognostic algorithm including performance status, LDH and age. Using a prognostic algorithm to exclude poor-risk patients from trials, we could minimize early death, improve long-term survival and increase the survival differences between different regimens. We suggest that other groups evaluate our algorithm and exclude poor prognosis patients from trials of dose intensification.  (+info)

Septicemia in dialysis patients: incidence, risk factors, and prognosis. (7/5981)

BACKGROUND: Infection is second to cardiovascular disease as a cause of death in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and septicemia causes a majority of these infectious deaths. To identify patients at high risk and to characterize modifiable risk factors for septicemia, we examined the incidence, risk factors, and prognosis for septicemia in a large, representative group of U.S. dialysis patients. METHODS: We conducted a longitudinal cohort study of incident ESRD patients in the case-mix study of the U.S. Renal Data System with seven years of follow-up from hospitalization and death records. Poisson regression was used to examine independent risk factors for hospital-managed septicemia. Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to assess the independent effect of septicemia on all-cause mortality and on death from septicemia. Separate analyses were performed for patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD). RESULTS: Over seven years of follow-up, 11.7% of 4005 HD patients and 9.4% of 913 PD patients had at least one episode of septicemia. Older age and diabetes were independent risk factors for septicemia in all patients. Among HD patients, low serum albumin, temporary vascular access, and dialyzer reuse were also associated with increased risk. Among PD patients, white race and having no health insurance at dialysis initiation were also risk factors. Patients with septicemia had twice the risk of death from any cause and a fivefold to ninefold increased risk of death from septicemia. CONCLUSIONS: Septicemia, which carries a marked increased risk of death, occurs frequently in patients on PD as well as HD. Early referral to a nephrologist, improving nutrition, and avoiding temporary vascular access may decrease the incidence of septicemia. Further study of how race, insurance status, and dialyzer reuse can contribute to the risk of septicemia among ESRD patients is indicated.  (+info)

TY - JOUR. T1 - Effect of Late-Onset Sepsis on Energy Expenditure in Extremely Premature Infants. AU - Torine, Ilana J.. AU - Denne, Scott C.. AU - Wright-Coltart, Shirley. AU - Leitch, Catherine. PY - 2007/5. Y1 - 2007/5. N2 - The purpose of this study was to compare total energy expenditure (TEE) in extremely premature infants during and after an episode of sepsis. We hypothesized that TEE in the sepsis group (SEP) would be higher during the septic period and higher than an age-matched control group (CTL). We further hypothesized that the TEE of the SEP group during the recovery period would be similar to that of the CTL group. The doubly labeled water method was used to determine TEE in both groups. Infant characteristics were as follows: SEP group, n = 10, gestation = 26 ± 1 wk, birth weight = 854 ± 218 g; CTL group, n = 10, gestation = 26 ± 1 wk, birth weight = 880 ± 158 g. TEE of the SEP group during the septic period was significantly greater than during the recovery period (96 ± 25 ...

Sepsis remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality among neonates. The risk factors and clinical outcomes of sepsis are poorly understood. Most cases of sepsis occurred mostly within the first week of newborns life related to perinatal risk factors. Late onset sepsis is related to hospital acquired infections which is seen after seven days of age. The purpose of this study was to assess clinical outcome and risk factors of neonatal sepsis in Felege Hiwot referral hospital Bahir Dar, North West Ethiopia. Among the total 225 neonatal charts reviewed; 164 (72.9%) were age less than or equal to 7 days, and 144 (64%) were males. About 29 (12.9%) neonates were with irregular respiratory signs and 40 (17.8%) had meconium aspiration syndrome. Regarding the clinical outcome of neonatal sepsis: 189 (84%) were improved after treatment, 9 (4%) were died and 13 (5.8%) referred to other organizations for further treatment. Respiratory distress syndrome [AOR = 0.258 (0.072-0.930)] and meconium aspiration syndrome

7-Part EMS Screening Tool Boosts Early Sepsis Treatment - Patient Safety & Quality Healthcare7-Part EMS Screening Tool Boosts Early Sepsis Treatment - Patient Safety & Quality Healthcare
By Christopher Cheney. Emergency medical service screening for sepsis speeds administration of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign 3-hour bundle of treatment, new research shows.. On an annual basis, sepsis affects about 1.7 million American adults and the infection is linked to more than 250,000 deaths. Timely application of the 3-hour bundle has been associated with reduced mortality.. In the new research, EMS crews conducted sepsis screening of patients before emergency department arrival, a co-author of the study told HealthLeaders.. We implemented a standard operating procedure for sepsis screening-seven questions for the emergency department RN to ask EMS in any adult patients excluding trauma. When sepsis was suspected, the radio RN would notify the charge nurse to help get them into a room. The key takeaways are that implementing a sepsis screening tool for EMS to use is feasible and it helps to expedite care in these patients, said Megan Rech, PharmD, MS, an emergency medicine clinical ...

Integrating sepsis management recommendations into clinical care guidelines for district hospitals in resource-limited settings...Integrating sepsis management recommendations into clinical care guidelines for district hospitals in resource-limited settings...
Several factors contribute to the high mortality attributed to severe infections in resource-limited settings. While improvements in survival and processes of care have been made in high-income settings among patients with severe conditions, such as sepsis, guidelines necessary for achieving these improvements may lack applicability or have not been tested in resource-limited settings. The World Health Organizations recent publication of the Integrated Management of Adolescent and Adult Illness District Clinician Manual provides details on how to optimize management of severely ill, hospitalized patients in such settings, including specific guidance on the management of patients with septic shock and respiratory failure without shock. This manuscript provides the context, process and underpinnings of these sepsis guidelines. In light of the current deficits in care and the limitations associated with these guidelines, the authors propose implementing these standardized best practice guidelines while

Neonatal sepsis - WikipediaNeonatal sepsis - Wikipedia
Neonatal sepsis is a type of neonatal infection and specifically refers to the presence in a newborn baby of a bacterial blood stream infection (BSI) (such as meningitis, pneumonia, pyelonephritis, or gastroenteritis) in the setting of fever. Older textbooks may refer to neonatal sepsis as sepsis neonatorum. Criteria with regards to hemodynamic compromise or respiratory failure are not useful clinically because these symptoms often do not arise in neonates until death is imminent and unpreventable. Neonatal sepsis is divided into two categories: early-onset sepsis (EOS) and late-onset sepsis (LOS). EOS refers to sepsis presenting in the first 7 days of life (although some refer to EOS as within the first 72 hours of life), with LOS referring to presentation of sepsis after 7 days (or 72 hours, depending on the system used). neonatal sepsis is the single most important cause of neonatal death in hospital as well as community in developing country. It is difficult to clinically exclude sepsis in ...

Whether past history of solid stage I/II inactive cancer has an impact on 28-day mortality of sepsis remains unclear. We aimed to determine the impact of history of stage I or II solid tumor malignancy in complete remission the last 3 years on sepsis outcome. Using the database of the Hellenic Sepsis Study Group from 1553 patients with sepsis admitted in the ICU, 83 patients with sepsis by Sepsis-3 definition with past-history of stage I/II inactive solid malignancy the last 3 years were depicted. A comparator group of 83 patients fully matched for age, severity, type of infection and comorbidities was selected by propensity score matching. Mortality after 28 days was 37.3% in the comparator group and 54.2% in the solid tumor stage I/II group (odds ratio for death 1.98; p: 0.030). Following step-wise forward Cox regression analysis, septic shock (hazard ratio 1.80), acute renal injury (hazard ratio 2.06), history of coronary heart disease (hazard ratio 0.36) and history of stage I/II solid tumor

National Sepsis Expert: Childrens Hospitals Can Mobilize to Reduce Severe Sepsis and Sepsis DeathsNational Sepsis Expert: Childrens Hospitals Can Mobilize to Reduce Severe Sepsis and Sepsis Deaths
Charles Macias, M.D., M.P.H., executive director, National EMSC Innovation and Improvement, and chief clinical systems integration officer at Texas Childrens Hospital is one of three national co-chairs of a collaboration among the nations childrens hospitals to defeat sepsis, the leading cause of death in hospitalized children. The multi-year Improving Pediatric Sepsis Outcomes collaborative-based on a proven improvement model-aims to reduce sepsis mortality and hospital onset severe sepsis by 75 percent. We caught up with him at the 2016 Annual Leadership Conference to get his thoughts on the importance of this work.. Why is this collaborative different, and why should a hospital be a part of this? What attracted you and your hospital to this effort? We were attracted to this collaborative because we recognized our outcomes of sepsis mortality and morbidity were not as good as we thought. Because sepsis is hard to detect until you are engaged in the improvement science work and use analytics ...

Efficacy & Safety of Resatorvid in Adults With Severe Sepsis - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.govEfficacy & Safety of Resatorvid in Adults With Severe Sepsis - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov
Severe sepsis, defined as sepsis associated with acute organ dysfunction, remains a serious medical problem worldwide. In the United States alone, approximately 750,000 cases of severe sepsis occur each year, with the mortality rate ranging between 30% and 50% for severe sepsis patients with concomitant organ dysfunction. As the population ages, these numbers are expected to increase. The pathophysiology of severe sepsis is thought to involve the activation of a variety of inflammatory and procoagulant host responses to infection, which if unchecked, can lead to diffuse endovascular injury, multi-organ dysfunction, and ultimately death.. The host response to infection with microorganism and microorganism-derived molecules is characterized by the synthesis and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukins 1, 6 and 8 (IL-1, IL-6, and IL-8), by inflammatory cells, and by other markers of inflammation such as C-reactive protein. Inflammatory ...

Abstract: The goal of this study was to investigate the role of procalcitonin (PCT) in diagnosis of neonatal sepsis and its correlation with C-Reactive Protein (CRP). One hundred and seventeen neonates with the gestational age ≥35 weeks with clinically suspected diagnosis of neonatal sepsis were studied during one year from 2007 in Tabriz Children`s Hospital. Conventional sepsis workup was done in all cases and the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis was proved based on the results of blood culture. The serum procalcitonin was measured by quantitative Chemo-luminance methods and the results were compared with CRP levels between the neonates with and without proven sepsis. The results showed among in 117 neonates with suspected sepsis 27 (23.1%) cases have positive blood culture (proven sepsis). The mean levels of PCT in neonates with and without proven sepsis was 4.42 ±6.66 vs. 2.06 ±4.03 ng mL-1 and CRP 33.98 ±36.81 vs. 12.30 ±20.42 mg L-1 were significantly higher in neonates with proven sepsis ...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prognostic significance of serum soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1), procalcitonin (PCT), N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP), C-reactive protein (CRP), cytokines, and clinical severity scores in patients with sepsis.. METHODS: A total of 102 patients with sepsis were divided into survival group (n = 60) and nonsurvival group (n = 42) based on 28-day mortality. Serum levels of biomarkers and cytokines were measured on days 1, 3, and 5 after admission to an ICU, meanwhile the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores were calculated.. RESULTS: Serum sTREM-1, PCT, and IL-6 levels of patients in the nonsurvival group were significantly higher than those in the survival group on day 1 (P , 0.01). The area under a ROC curve for the prediction of 28 day mortality was 0.792 for PCT, 0.856 for sTREM-1, 0.953 for SOFA score, and 0.923 for APACHE II ...

Introduction Right ventricular (RV) myocardial dysfunction is a common feature in septic shock. It can worsen outcome, but the etiology is poorly understood. Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) plays a part in the pathogenesis of the right heart dysfunction in sepsis but its importance is unknown. In pigs, PAH in sepsis is substantial and the translational value of porcine sepsis models therefore questioned. We hypothesized that porcine sepsis causes a myocardial inflammatory response which leads to myocardial dysfunction independent of PAH. Materials and methods Sepsis was induced by Escherichia coli-infusion in 10 pigs resulting in PAH and increased right ventricular pressure (RVP). The same degree of RVP was achieved by external pulmonary artery banding (PAB) in a consecutive series of 6 animals. Results Sepsis, but not PAB, led to increase in endothelial damage marker PAI-1 and cytokines TNF and IL-6 (all p,0.05) in plasma. In myocardium, TNF and IL-6 were significantly elevated in sepsis, ...

Sepsis, as defined by the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) in 2012,[1] is the presence of a probable or documented infection together with systemic manifestations of an infection.. In 2004, the World Health Organization[2] listed three infective causes, namely lower respiratory tract infection, diarrhoeal disease and tuberculosis, on their top ten list of causes of death, which is similar to mortality reports documented in the 2013 Western Cape Mortality Profile.[3]This highlights the fact that sepsis and its sequelae - which were originally caused by an infection - are major contributors to the local and global burden of disease.. To date there are virtually no accurate data on the incidence and prevalence of or mortality rates for sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock in developing countries. Mortality rates have been reported to be as high as 30% for sepsis, 40% for severe sepsis and 80% for septic shock[4-6] in developed countries. Septic shock is still the leading cause of death in ...

The role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in bacterial sepsis remains - Engineering a Therapeutic Lectin by Uncoupling MitogenicityThe role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in bacterial sepsis remains - Engineering a Therapeutic Lectin by Uncoupling Mitogenicity
The role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in bacterial sepsis remains controversial because antibody-mediated depletion experiments gave conflicting results. induction, Treg-depleted and control rodents demonstrated solid irritation similarly, resistant cell migration into the peritoneum and microbial dissemination. During the initial 36 l of disease success was not really motivated by Treg-depletion. Afterwards, nevertheless, just Treg-competent pets retrieved from the slander. We deduce that the suppressive capability of Tregs is certainly not really enough to control overpowering irritation and early fatality, but is certainly a must for the recovery from serious sepsis. Launch Sepsis continues to be a main trigger of loss of life in strenuous treatment products world-wide [1]. Specifically postoperatively obtained stomach sepsis credited to digestive tract loss is certainly still linked with a extremely high lethality of about 60% [2].

We studied changes in α1-adrenergic receptors in human liver plasma membranes during intraabdominal sepsis using [3H]prazosin as a radioligand. Human liver tissues were obtained from nonseptic patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery (control group) and from patients with sepsis requiring laparotomy as a therapeutic measure (septic group). Septic patients were further divided into three subgroups on the basis of septic severity scores: mild sepsis (,21), moderate sepsis (22 to 32) and severe sepsis (,33). Plasma membranes were prepared by means of sucrose gradient centrifugation and were purified fivefold on the basis of the enrichment of the activity of the marker enzyme, 5′-nucleotidase. [3H]prazosin-binding studies show that the maximal binding capacity was increased by 49.6% (p ,0.01) in mild sepsis, relatively unchanged in moderate sepsis and decreased by 33.4% (p , 0.05) in severe sepsis (in femtomoles per milligram: 193.7 ± 5.7 for control [n = 6], 289.8 ± 23.4 for mild sepsis ...

BACKGROUND: Sepsis is a leading cause of death, but evidence suggests that early recognition and prompt intervention can save lives. In 2005 Houston Methodist Hospital prioritized sepsis detection and management in its ICU. In late 2007, because of marginal effects on sepsis death rates, the focus shifted to designing a program that would be readily used by nurses and ensure early recognition of patients showing signs suspicious for sepsis, as well as the institution of prompt, evidence-based interventions to diagnose and treat it. METHODS: The intervention had four components: organizational commitment and data-based leadership; development and integration of an early sepsis screening tool into the electronic health record; creation of screening and response protocols; and education and training of nurses. Twice-daily screening of patients on targeted units was conducted by bedside nurses; nurse practitioners initiated definitive treatment as indicated. Evaluation focused on extent of implementation,

What is sepsis? Sepsis is a life threatening condition that arises when the bodys response to an infection injures its own tissues and organs. Sepsis leads to shock, multiple organ failure and death especially if not recognized early and treated promptly. Sepsis is caused by the way the body responds to germs, such as bacteria, getting into your body. The infection may have started anywhere in a sufferers body, and may be only in one part of the body or it may be widespread. Sepsis can occur following chest or water infections, problems in the abdomen like burst ulcers, or simple skin injuries like cuts and bites. Sepsis can be caused by a huge variety of different bugs, most cases being caused by common bacteria which we all come into contact with every day without them making us ill. Sometimes, though, the body responds abnormally to these infections, and causes sepsis. Different types of sepsis Many people can have mild sepsis which can make them feel ill but doesnt require treatment in ...

Bench-to-bedside review: Neonatal sepsis - redox processes in pathogenesis | Critical Care | Full TextBench-to-bedside review: Neonatal sepsis - redox processes in pathogenesis | Critical Care | Full Text
The present review is aimed at elucidating the neonatal sepsis redox cycle - the cascade of inflammatory and redox events involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis in neonates. While adult and neonatal sepses share some common features, there are some substantial differences: higher mortality rates occur in adult sepsis and worse long-term effects are evident in neonatal sepsis survivors. Such epidemiological data may be explained by the lower ability of IL6 and IL8 to activate NF-κB-regulated transcription in neonatal sepsis in comparison to TNF-α, which is involved in the mechanisms of adult sepsis. The activation of NF-κB in neonatal sepsis is further promoted by hydrogen peroxide and results in mitochondrial dysfunction and energy failure as septic neonates experience decreased O2 consumption as well as lower heat production and body temperature in comparison to healthy peers. In neonates, specific organs that are still under development are vulnerable to sepsis-provoked stress, which may lead to

Thousands of children die from Sepsis following routine infections. Many of these deaths can be prevented with earlier recognition and focused management. No tools are currently available to recognize the signs of early sepsis in children. The investigators have developed a electronic health record-based tool that will recognize children with sepsis early and trigger an alert to their hospital caregivers. The caregivers will be prompted to launch a focused management bundle that can stabilize these children, prevent further deterioration and reduce their chances of sepsis related complications and death. The proposed study will test the validity and effectiveness of this electronic tool in reducing sepsis mortality rates ...

Early Sepsis Treatment With Immunoglobulins After Cardiac Surgery in Score-identified High-risk Patients - DiscussionEarly Sepsis Treatment With Immunoglobulins After Cardiac Surgery in Score-identified High-risk Patients - Discussion
A major problem of postoperative care is the early identification of patients at risk of developing sepsis and multiple organ failure. By comparing different parameters on the first postoperative day in patients after cardiac surgery (plasma elastase and neopterin, hemodynamic data, scoring systems), we have found the best predictive value for several scoring systems (work in preparation). Among these, the APACHE II score was selected for its best practicability (routine bedside availability within 5 to 10 min using a microcomputer-based program). It is applicable for imminent sepsis risk stratification, discriminating on the first postoperative day between the large population of low-risk patients (score , 19) with mostly uneventful course and the small groups of patients at risk (19 to 23) and high risk ( , 24) who have an at least tenfold higher postsurgical mortality (Fig la). This approach yields several advantages: (1) early and standardized use of supplemental treatment; (2) specific use ...

Improving sepsis diagnosis in children - Mater ResearchImproving sepsis diagnosis in children - Mater Research
Mater Researches are investigating the diagnosis process for sepsis in children, a major disease that can lead to severe illness and remains one of the leading causes of mortality in children.. Associate Professor Luregn Schlapbach explained that the key problem of diagnosis is that sepsis initially often presents similarly to common respiratory infections like pneumonia and other initially mild infections.. In view of the past difficulties in diagnosing sepsis reliably, a taskforce of adult critical care physicians and sepsis experts revised the definition of sepsis in adults in 2016, said A/Prof Schlapbach.. The new sepsis definition, so called Sepsis-3 definitions, defines sepsis as dysregulated host response to infection resulting in organ dysfunction.. Essentially, this means that sepsis is when a bodys reaction to infection becomes so overwhelming that it causes one or several organs to shut down, which can lead to death in the worst cases..

Utica Observer-Dispatch: Initiative having impact on sepsis - Stop Sepsis At HomeUtica Observer-Dispatch: Initiative having impact on sepsis - Stop Sepsis At Home
Amy Neff Roth / [email protected] Read the article at the Utica Observer-Dispatch here.. An initiative to fight a potentially deadly disease began in New York with help from a local nurse.. Now, its taking off across the state - and around the country.. Stop Sepsis at Home, an initiative of the Home Care Association of New York State, uses the nations first screening and intervention tool to identify home care patients who are at risk for sepsis, who are in the early stages and need treatment, and who have severe sepsis and need emergency care. It also involves training for health care providers and education for patients and families.. Sepsis is a potentially deadly or disabling condition in which the body overreacts to an infection.. The initiatives clinical director is Amy Bowerman, executive director of Senior Net Health and quality director for the VNA of Utica, both part of the Mohawk Valley Health System..

Despite advancements in our understanding of innate and adaptive immunity, applying this knowledge to the treatment of sepsis has proven difficult. Sepsis causes a dramatic systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) but is also capable of causing dysfunction in both the innate and adaptive branches of the immune system (Bone, 1996; Döcke et al., 1997; Hotchkiss and Karl, 2003). In patients receiving appropriate resuscitation, the early systemic SIRS phase is rarely lethal, and patients increasingly succumb to secondary infections and organ failure during a prolonged period of immunosuppression and failure in host defense (Bone, 1996; Hotchkiss and Karl, 2003). Understanding both phases of human sepsis requires the application of appropriate animal models that can produce a SIRS response that can be overcome to allow the study of host defense during the more prolonged phases in sepsis. To this end, we use the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model of sepsis that creates a significant but ...

Risk Factors Associated with Neonatal Sepsis: A Case Study at a Specialist Hospital in GhanaRisk Factors Associated with Neonatal Sepsis: A Case Study at a Specialist Hospital in Ghana
Worldwide, neonatal sepsis accounts for an estimated 26% of under-five deaths, with sub-Saharan Africa having the highest mortality rates|b|.|/b| Though worldwide neonatal deaths have decreased by over 3.6 million per year since 2000, neonatal sepsis remains a notable hindrance to the progress in the decline of cause-specific mortality rates especially in sub-Saharan Africa. This study aimed at examining the risk factors of neonatal sepsis at the Trauma and Specialist Hospital, Winneba. The study was an unmatched case control retrospective study. Cases were neonates who had sepsis with their index mothers and controls were neonates who did not have sepsis with their index mothers. Neonatal and maternal medical records were retrieved from January to December 2017. Data abstraction lasted for one month and 2650 folders for the neonates and their index mothers were retrieved. Nine hundred (900) neonatal folders were considered valid for the study and likewise for the maternal folders. One hundred and

The relation between deresuscitative fluid management after the resuscitation phase and clinical outcome in patients with abdominal sepsis is not completely clear. The aim of this study was to assess the contribution of deresuscitative management to death and organ dysfunction in abdominal sepsis. Consecutive patients with abdominal sepsis requiring fluid resuscitation were included in this study. According to the fluid management given in the later stage of resuscitation, a conservative group and a deresuscitative fluid management group were compared. The primary outcome was in-hospital death, whereas secondary outcomes were categorized as organ dysfunction and other adverse events. A total of 138 patients were enrolled in this study. Conservative fluid management was given to 47.8% of patients, whereas deresuscitative fluid management occurred in 52.2%. The deresuscitative strategy was associated with a markedly lower prevalence of new-onset acute kidney injury and a decrease in the duration ...

Honokiol is a low-molecular-weight natural product and has been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory activity. Our study aimed to investigate the influence of honokiol on sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) in a mouse model. A cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) surgical operation was performed to establish a sepsis-induced acute kidney injury model in mice. Renal histomorphological analysis was performed with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining. The levels of inflammatory markers in serum were measured by ELISA assay. The mRNA and protein levels were assayed by RT-qPCR and western blotting, respectively. Annexin V-FITC/PI staining was used to evaluate glomerular mesangial cell (GMC) apoptosis. The results revealed that honokiol significantly increased the survival rate in mice undergoing a CLP operation. Inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β, were significantly inhibited in honokiol-treated septic mice compared with the CLP group. In addition, honokiol showed the ability to

TY - JOUR. T1 - Pathophysiology of septic acute kidney injury. AU - Mårtensson, Johan. AU - Bellomo, Rinaldo. PY - 2016. Y1 - 2016. N2 - Background: Despite increased understanDing of the pathophysiology of septic acute kidney injury (AKI), treatment options are limited, and mortality remains high. Summary: Septic AKI is triggered by pathogen-associated molecular patterns from bacteria and damage-associated molecular patterns released from or exposed on damaged cells. Downstream effects include glomerular and peritubular endothelial dysfunction, downregulation of tubular reabsorptive work, cell-cycle arrest, regulated cell death and destruction of damaged cell organelles. In the laboratory, pharmacological modulation of some of these pathways prevents AKI or enhances recovery from AKI, yet no data exist to support the utility of such AKI therapy in man. However, avoiDing systemic and renal venous congestion, hypotension and fluid overload attenuates AKI in critically ill septic patients. Key ...

Hoosiers Come Together to Raise Awareness at the Rally Against Sepsis « Indiana Hospital AssociationHoosiers Come Together to Raise Awareness at the Rally Against Sepsis « Indiana Hospital Association
Sepsis is a public health issue. It is more common than a heart attack and claims more lives than prostate cancer, breast cancer and AIDS combined. Yet, according to the 2017 Sepsis Alliance Awareness Survey, only 58 percent of Americans have even heard of sepsis. Sepsis Awareness Month is held each September to increase awareness of this deadly infection, and on Sept. 13, World Sepsis Day, countless events take place all over the world to educate the public about the signs and symptoms of sepsis. This year, for the second year in a row, the Indiana Patient Safety Center (IPSC) of the Indiana Hospital Association (IHA) hosted a Rally Against Sepsis on World Sepsis Day to encourage Hoosiers to get involved in spreading the word about sepsis.. The Rally Against Sepsis took place from 10-11 a.m. at the Indiana War Memorial with speakers who highlighted the three arms of IHAs sepsis awareness campaign: See It. Stop It. Survive It.

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) mediates the innate immune response either through direct opsonisation of microorganisms or through activation of the complement system. There are conflicting data whether MBL deficiency leads to increased susceptibility to infections or not. The aim of this study was to determine if low levels of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) predict sepsis development, sepsis severity and outcome from severe sepsis or septic shock. Patients aged 18 years or more with documented sepsis within 24 h after admission to the intensive care unit were included if they had participated in a health survey and donated blood samples prior to the sepsis event. A subset of these patients had stored plasma also from the acute phase. Two matched referents free of known sepsis were selected for each case. Plasma levels MBL were determined in stored samples from health surveys (baseline) and from ICU admission (acute phase). The association between MBL and sepsis, sepsis severity and in-hospital mortality

HMGB1 mediates anemia of inflammation in murine sepsis survivors by S. I. Valdes-Ferrer, J. Papoin et al.HMGB1 mediates anemia of inflammation in murine sepsis survivors by S. I. Valdes-Ferrer, J. Papoin et al.
Patients surviving sepsis develop anemia but the molecular mechanism is unknown. Here we observed that mice surviving polymicrobial Gram-negative sepsis develop hypochromic, microcytic anemia with reticulocytosis. The bone marrow of sepsis survivors accumulates polychromatophilic and orthochromatic erythroblasts. Compensatory extramedullary erythropoiesis in the spleen is defective during terminal differentiation. Circulating TNF and IL-6 are elevated for five days after the onset of sepsis, and serum HMGB1 levels are increased from day seven until at least day 28. Administration of recombinant HMGB1 to healthy mice mediates anemia with extramedullary erythropoiesis and significantly elevated reticulocyte counts. Moreover, administration of anti-HMGB1 monoclonal antibodies after sepsis significantly ameliorates the development of anemia (hematocrit 48.5+/-9.0% versus 37.4+/-6.1%, p

Early sepsis detection with infrared - Worlds Family MedicineEarly sepsis detection with infrared - Worlds Family Medicine
Sepsis is a major risk factor for patient death among those in intensive care not suffering from heart problems. In fact, it is the eleventh cause of death overall in the U.S.. It arises when infection causes a breakdown in the immune system leading to a major inflammatory response. Research published in the International Journal of Data Mining and Bioinformatics suggests that infrared thermography could be used for the early detection of sepsis. Early detection is key to treating this condition and reducing the sepsis mortality rate.. Hasanain Al-Sadr, Mihail Popescu, and James Keller of the University of Missouri Columbia, U.S., explain that abnormal patterns of body temperature can reveal the earliest stages of sepsis. We suggest using thermography as a non-invasive tool capable of continuously measuring body temperature patterns and detecting abnormalities, the team writes. The add that of the odd patterns is temperature difference between body extremities and the patients core ...

The role of systemic hemodynamics in the pathogenesis of septic acute kidney injury (AKI) has received little attention. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between systemic hemodynamics and new or persistent of AKI in severe sepsis.A retrospective study between 2006 and 2010 was performed in a surgical ICU in a teaching hospital. AKI was defined as development (new AKI) or persistent AKI during the five days following admission based on the Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) criteria. We studied the association between the following hemodynamic targets within 24 hours of admission and AKI: central venous pressure (CVP), cardiac output (CO), mean arterial pressure (MAP), diastolic arterial pressure (DAP), central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) or mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2).This study included 137 ICU septic patients. Of these, 69 had new or persistent AKI. AKI patients had a higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS II) (57 (46 to 67) vs. 45 (33 to 52), P <

Purpose End-organ apoptosis is well-described in progressive sepsis and Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS), especially where platelets accumulate (e.g. spleen and lung). We previously reported an acute sepsis-induced cytotoxic platelet phenotype expressing serine protease granzyme B. We now aim to define the site(s) of and mechanism(s) by which platelet granzyme B induces end-organ apoptosis in sepsis. Methods End-organ apoptosis in murine sepsis (i.e. polymicrobial peritonitis) was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Platelet cytotoxicity was measured by flow cytometry following 90 minute ex vivo co-incubation with healthy murine splenocytes. Sepsis progression was measured via validated preclinical murine sepsis score. Measurements and Main Results There was evident apoptosis in spleen, lung, and kidney sections from septic wild type mice. In contrast, there was a lack of TUNEL staining in spleens and lungs from septic granzyme B null mice and these mice survived longer following induction of

Glutamine and alanine metabolism in lungs of septic rats | Clinical ScienceGlutamine and alanine metabolism in lungs of septic rats | Clinical Science
1. The metabolism of glutamine and alanine in the lung was studied in rats made septic by a caecal ligation and puncture technique.. 2. The blood glucose concentration was not significantly different in septic rats, but blood pyruvate, lactate, glutamine and alanine concentrations were markedly increased as compared with sham-operated rats. Conversely, blood ketone body and plasma cholesterol concentrations were significantly decreased in septic rats. Both plasma insulin and plasma glucagon concentrations were markedly elevated in response to sepsis. Sepsis resulted in a negative nitrogen balance.. 3. Sepsis increased the rates of production of glutamine (52.5%, P ,0.001), alanine (38.9%, P ,0.001) and glutamate (48.6%, P ,0.001) by lung slices incubated in vitro.. 4. Sepsis increased lung blood flow by 27.6% (P ,0.05). Blood flow and arteriovenous concentration difference measurement across the lung of septic rats showed an increase in the net exchange rates of glutamine (142.5%, P ,0.001), ...

Abstract. We evaluated the association between severity of sepsis and in-hospital mortality in 150 patients with non-surgical sepsis at a regional referral hospital in Uganda. In-hospital mortality occurred in 5 of 52 (9.6%) patients with sepsis, 24 of 71 (33.8%) patients with severe sepsis, and 16 of 27 (59.3%) patients with septic shock. In the multivariate analysis, the identification of severe sepsis (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR] = 2.9, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.0-8.2, P = 0.04), septic shock (AHR = 5.7, 95% CI = 1.6-20.3, P = 0.007), and dysfunction of three or more organs (AHR = 2.9, 95% CI = 1.1-7.3, P = 0.03) increased the risk of in-hospital mortality. Adding aggregate organ dysfunction to the multivariate equation that included the sepsis category statistically significantly improved the model, but the opposite did not. Predictors of mortality were easily measurable and could be used to risk stratify critically ill patients in resource-constrained settings.

Current sepsis therapies are largely supportive and limited to a few clinical interventions, including antibiotics, steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., hydrocortisone) and early goal-directed therapies (EGDT). For instance, appropriate broad-spectrum antibiotics are often administered to patients to facilitate the elimination of bacterial pathogens [2]; however, the release of bacterial products (e.g., endotoxin or CpG-DNA) may adversely amplify inflammatory responses. Accordingly, anti-inflammatory steroids (e.g., hydrocortisone, methylprednisolone, dexamethasone, and fludrocortisone) are frequently used to modulate the excessive inflammatory response, despite the lack of reproducible efficacy in clinical sepsis trials [117-119]. As a supportive intervention, EGDT employs extremely tight control of numerous physiological parameters (such as central venous pressure, mean arterial blood pressure, central venous oxygen saturation, and hematocrit) with discrete, protocol-driven interventions ...

PURPOSE: To investigate the association between consecutively measured thromboelastographic (TEG) tracings and outcome in patients with severe sepsis.. METHODS: Multicentre prospective observational study in a subgroup of the Scandinavian Starch for Severe Sepsis/Septic Shock (6S) Trial (NCT00962156) comparing hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.42 vs. Ringers acetate for fluid resuscitation in severe sepsis. TEG (standard and functional fibrinogen) was measured consecutively for 5 days, and clinical data including bleeding and death was retrieved from the trial database. Statistical analyses included Cox regression with time-dependent covariates and joint modelling techniques.. RESULTS: Of 267 eligible patients, we analysed 260 patients with TEG data. At 90 days, 68 (26 %) had bled and 139 (53 %) had died. For all TEG variables, hypocoagulability according to the reference range was significantly associated with increased risk of death. In a linear model, hazard ratios for death were 6.03 (95 % ...

As regular PulmCCM readers know, the ProCESS, ARISE and ProMISe randomized trials showed no benefit of protocolized early goal-directed therapy as compared to usual conscientious care in the treatment of severe sepsis and septic shock.. In response to ProCESS and ARISE, the influential Surviving Sepsis Campaign now advises that measurement of central venous pressure (CVP) and central venous oxygenation (ScVO2) -- two core components of the so-called EGDT sepsis bundle -- are not necessary for all patients with septic shock.. As long as patients have received timely antibiotics and fluid resuscitation, the Campaign says, requiring measurement of CVP and ScvO2 in all patients ... is not supported by the available evidence.. They further reported that the Surviving Sepsis committee would immediately review the evidence to determine whether and when an update is needed to its practice-defining Surviving Sepsis Guidelines..

The mortality rate of trauma is still very high and is increasing, according to the World Health Organization. It is predicted that post-traumatic mortality will be a major cause of death in 2020. Traffic injuries commonly seen in civilian trauma patients are the leading cause of pre-hospital death [1, 2]. Combat-related injuries, which are a special form of trauma, will also have higher mortality rates if the wounded do not receive timely battlefield surgery and subsequent treatments [3]. Both pro- and anti-inflammatory responses are involved in the post-traumatic pathologic process, and they increase the risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis, and multiple organ failure (MOF). Early prevention of the development of sepsis following trauma can reduce the risk of both sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and can improve the patients outcomes.. The greatest danger after hemorrhage in both civilian and combat-related injuries is sepsis. Sepsis 3.0 was put ...

During the sepsis the coagulation cascade, the complement system and the activation system are activated, in different moments, and this contributes to the development of multiple organ failure. This activation involves all system specially in late sepsis and contributes to the development of multiple organ failure associated with high mortality rate.Linezolid ia a one of a new class of antimicrobials (oxazolidinones) for the treatment of gram positive infection such as nosocomial pneumonia (including MRSA), community acquired pneumonia, complicate and uncomplicated skin infection and vancomycin resistant Enterococcus Faecium infection.

Sepsis is now defined as infection plus systemic manifestations of infection (Table 34-1). Systemic inflammatory response syndrome is no longer a strict criteria. There are 3 sepsis syndromes (stages): uncomplicated sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock. Sepsis becomes severe sepsis when there is tissue hypoperfusion or organ dysfunction (Table 34-2). Septic shock is defined as a systolic blood pressure (SBP) ,90 mmHg or 40 mmHg below ones baseline blood pressure, despite two 20- to 30-mL/kg boluses. ...

Early onset neonatal sepsis: diagnostic dilemmas and practical management | ADC Fetal & Neonatal EditionEarly onset neonatal sepsis: diagnostic dilemmas and practical management | ADC Fetal & Neonatal Edition
Early onset neonatal sepsis is persistently associated with poor outcomes, and incites clinical practice based on the fear of missing a treatable infection in a timely fashion. Unnecessary exposure to antibiotics is also hazardous. Diagnostic dilemmas are discussed in this review, and suggestions offered for practical management while awaiting a more rapidly available gold standard test; in an ideal world, this test would be 100% sensitive and 100% specific for the presence of organisms. ...

DEFINITIONS. Sepsis is a complex syndrome that results from a hosts response to infection. Simply put, it is the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) arising because of documented or suspected infection. Clinically, SIRS is identified by the presence of at least two of the following: fever or hypothermia, tachycardia, tachypnea, and leukocytosis or leukopenia. Severe sepsis is sepsis with organ dysfunction or tissue hypoperfusion from the infection. Septic shock is severe sepsis plus hypotension that is not corrected by fluid resuscitation. Since 1991, the definitions and diagnostic criteria have expanded with inflammatory, hemodynamic, organ dysfunction, and tissue perfusion variables, but general definitions are the same. Sepsis-related terminology and definitions are in Table 2.1. Diagnostic criteria for sepsis are in Table 2.2. The document by a consensus committee of international experts called Surviving Sepsis Campaign has become one of the most comprehensive guidelines for ...

Vitamin C: A Potential Life-saving Treatment For SepsisVitamin C: A Potential Life-saving Treatment For Sepsis
Physicians caring for patients with sepsis may soon have a new safe and cost-effective treatment for this life-threatening illness. Research led by Dr. Karel Tyml and his colleagues at The University of Western Ontario and Lawson Health Research Institute have found that vitamin C can not only prevent the onset of sepsis, but can reverse the disease.. Sepsis is caused by a bacterial infection that can begin anywhere in your body. Your immune system goes into overdrive, overwhelming normal processes in your blood. The result is that small blood clots form, blocking blood flow to vital organs. This can lead to organ failure. Babies, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems are most likely to get sepsis. But even healthy people can become deathly ill from the disease.. According to Dr. Tyml, a professor at Westerns Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, patients with severe sepsis have a high mortality rate, nearly 40 percent, because there is no effective treatment.. There are many ...

Sepsis is a major risk factor for the development of thrombocytopenia, but few studies have specifically evaluated prognostic importance of thrombocytopenia in patients with sepsis. We investigated the incidence, risk factors, and prognostic importance of thrombocytopenia in adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with sepsis. A retrospective analysis of patients admitted with severe sepsis/septic shock from December 2007 to January 2009 to a 24-bed medical ICU was done. A total of 304 patients were included in the study. The patients mean (±SD) age was 68.8 (±15.8) years. The majority (93.7%) had septic shock, and pneumonia was the most common infection (38.8%). Thrombocytopenia developed in 145 patients (47.6%): 77 (25.3%) at ICU admission and 68 (22.3%) during their hospital course. The median (IQR) duration of thrombocytopenia was 4.4 (1.9-6.9) days.

Several comorbidities and obstetric factors independently increased the risk of severe sepsis. For example, women with congestive heart failure had a more than fourfold higher risk, and women undergoing cesarean delivery had a more than fivefold higher risk. The etiology of the increase [in severe sepsis] in this population is unknown, she commented. Possible hypotheses for the increase ... could be the increased cesarean delivery rate. At the start of the study period, the cesarean delivery rate was 21.2%; by 2008, the national rate was 32.3%. Theres also a higher-risk patient population. More women today have comorbidities that increase their risk of severe sepsis, she added. And theres an increased microbial resistance that could also be contributing. Dr. Bauer noted that an important related issue is the difficulty of diagnosing sepsis during pregnancy.

Innate immunity is the first line of defense in human beings against pathogen infection; monocytes/macrophages are the primary cells of the innate immune system. Recently, macrophages/monocytes have been discovered to participate in LPS clearance, and the clearance efficiency determines the magnitude of the inflammatory response and subsequent organ injury. Previously, we reported that artesunate (AS) protected sepsis mice against heat-killed E. coli challenge. Herein, we further confirmed that AS protected cecal ligation/puncture (CLP) sepsis mice. Its protection on sepsis mice was related to not only reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and serum LPS levels but also improvement of liver function. Based on the fact that AS did not directly bind and neutralize LPS, we hypothesized that the reduction of serum LPS level might be related to enhancement of LPS internalization and subsequent detoxification. Our results showed that AS increased FITC-LPS internalization by peritoneal macrophage and liver

Sepsis Linked to Elevated Risk for New-Onset Epilepsy in Young Individuals. Patients with sepsis, particularly younger patients and those with chronic kidney disease, may be at an elevated risk for new-onset epilepsy, according to research presented at the 2019 American Epilepsy Society Annual Meeting, held December 6-10, 2019, in Baltimore, Maryland.. Researchers conducted a population-based, retrospective, matched-cohort study to estimate the risk for new-onset epilepsy among patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) for sepsis treatment. Researchers collected data from the patients in the Discharge Abstract Database between 2010 and 2015.. These findings indicate that sepsis may be an unrecognized epilepsy risk factor, the researchers concluded. Possible mechanisms include damage to the blood-brain barrier as a result of renal dysfunction, persisting inflammation after the acute episode, and increased risk of cardiovascular events following sepsis..

BestBets: Is lumbar puncture necessary for evaluation of early neonatal sepsis?BestBets: Is lumbar puncture necessary for evaluation of early neonatal sepsis?
Lumbar puncture has always been an invaluable tool to diagnose meningitis. In the neonatal period, septicaemia can be indistinguishable from meningitis. The overall incidence of neonatal meningitis is 0.25 1.0 per 1000 live births (Wiswell, Shattuck). Practice varies between hospital units as regards early sepsis evaluation. Although blood culture has been regarded as an essential component of sepsis screen, the role of lumbar puncture is debatable especially in the first 72 h of life. Previously published data showed that neonatal septicaemia can coexist with meningitis in up to 30% of patients (Vissar). On the other hand, lumbar puncture can be associated with major risks including hypoxaemia, clinical deterioration and many other hazards in small and sick babies (Weisman, Speidel). Moreover, in about 30% of patients, the cerebrospinal fluid tap could be traumatic or inadequate (Weisman, Schreiner). Although many of the studies did not compare the incidence of meningitis between groups with ...

This large, multicenter, RCT in Australia and New Zealand found no significant effect of the probiotic combination B infantis, S thermophilus, and B lactis on definite late-onset sepsis in preterm infants born at ,32 weeks gestation weighing ,1500 g. This was true for culture-proven sepsis with either conventional pathogens or CoNS species, as well as for clinical late-onset sepsis. Although a statistically significant reduction in NEC of Bell stage 2 or more was found in the probiotic group, the absolute reduction was only 2.4%. The study was not powered to detect a differential NEC reduction by birth weight or gestation; although we found an apparent benefit in NEC prevention in the groups that weighed ≥1000 g and were born at ≥28 weeks gestation, these results should be interpreted cautiously, as they may be chance findings. There was no significant difference in mortality or the composite outcome of death or NEC.. Our finding of a lack of effect of the probiotic combination on definite ...
