For this episode we are joined by EBM guru, Dr. Brian Locke, who deftly breaks down all of our statistics questions. Is half dose DOAC as good as full dose DOAC for preventing VTE, and does it reduce bleeding risk? Can procalcitonin reduce duration of antibiotics for infections without compromising mortality rates? Can LLMs like GPT-4 help physicians manage patients better? Can reinforcement learning models predict when to start vasopressin in patients with septic shock? What is the risk of resuming anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation and prior intracerebral hemorrhage? Is high flow nasal cannula as good as non-invasive ventilation for different types of respiratory failure? We answer all these questions and more!Half Dose DOAC for Long Term VTE Prevention (RENOVE)Biomarker-Guided Antibiotic Duration (ADAPT-Sepsis)GPT-4 Assistance for Physician PerformanceOptimal Vasopressin Initiation for Septic Shock (OVISS)DOACs for A fib after ICH (PRESTIGE-AF)High Flow Nasal Cannula vs NIV for Respiratory Failure (RENOVATE)Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/dope License code: NP8HLP5WKGKXFW2R

Autonomic dysfunction and tachycardia are strongly linked to poor outcomes in septic shock, contributing to high mortality rates. In the upcoming podcast, we explore whether β-blockade with landiolol for up to 14 days can reduce organ failure, as measured by the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, in critically ill patients with tachycardia and septic shock who have been on high-dose norepinephrine for over 24 hours. Dr. Tony Whitehouse, interviewed by two NEXT representatives, discusses the key findings of the STRESS-L Randomized Clinical Trial.

Dr. Harven DeShield is the CEO and Co-Founder of Vivacelle Bio, which is developing a nanoparticle-based treatment called VBI-S to address the underlying causes of septic shock. The treatment works by efficiently redistributing nitric oxide to help regulate blood pressure and improve organ function, reducing the need for traditional vasopressor treatments. Vivacelle is also developing a product to help address hemorrhagic shock and minimize reperfusion injury. Harven explains, "There are seven aspects to septic shock - actually eight. So, first, you have an infection. You have to have an infection, whether it is a bacterial, virus, or fungus. And then, eventually, they give you fluids—your blood pressure drops. And so, they try to correct that by giving you fluids. And when the fluids fail, then you transition from sepsis to septic shock." "Then, you are also dealing with the fact that they put you on vasopressors once you get into septic shock. When they put you on vasopressors, that creates another whole realm of problems, which I can get into later. But, essentially, they have some serious toxicity effects, including reducing cardiac output. It causes cardiac arrhythmia and blood clots and can even lead somebody to go into hemorrhagic shock. So, you have the infection problems, you have the relative and absolute hypovolemia problem." "Our product, for example, works within, and I'm using phase 2a - we see results in as little as 90 minutes, in terms of, at least, correcting the blood pressure. And it really can be very severe, and time is of the essence. There used to be something they called the "golden hour”. This means you have an hour, depending on how low your blood pressure is. Now, some people call it the "platinum ten minutes". #VivacelleBio #SepticShock #Sepsis #Hypovolemia #UrgentCareTreatment vivicellebio.com Listen to the podcast here

If you practice in emergency medicine you probably live on the look out for sepsis. You likely follow the 2016 Sepsis-3 guidelines for adults which really was a paradigm shift from an infection-associated SIRS, to infection-associated organ dysfunction with the SOFA score or sequential organ failure assessment score of at least 2 points in patients with suspected infection. However, the definition of sepsis in kids was not updated at that time in part because SOFA was not studied in children. That means that our current pediatric guidelines are from 2005! Good news though! The Phoenix sepsis criteria for sepsis and septic shock in children were derived and validated by the international SCCM Pediatric Sepsis Definition Task Force and we interviewed two of the task force members to help us operationalize it on our podcast.

La Sociedad de Medicina de Cuidado Crítico (Society for Critical Care Medicine, o SCCM) publicó en la revista JAMA la actualización a la definición de sepsis pediátrica en pacientes menores de 18 años. La revisión del 2016 que dio paso a la 3era definición por consenso solo aplicó a pacientes adultos. En este otro episodio del ECCpodcast discuto la definición de sepsis en pacientes adultos. Como especie, nuestra fisiología no ha evolucionado. Lo que ha evolucionado es nuestro entendimiento de la condición y por ende la forma en que definimos qué es sepsis. Definición Sepsis 3.0 del 2016 Sepsis no es solamente una infección severa. Sepsis es fallo orgánico asociado a una infección, debido a una respuesta anormal del cuerpo a la infección. Para definir el fallo orgánico, se utilizó la puntuación SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) (también llamado Sepsis-Related Organ Failure Assessment y Systemic Organ Failure Assessment). Shock séptico fue definido como un paciente con que requiere vasopresores para mantener una presión arterial media de 65 mmHg y lactato mayor de 2 mmol/L. Debido a que la definición incluye números que aplican solamente a adultos, es necesario definirlos en el contexto de pacientes pediátricos. Debido a que la definición de Sepsis 3.0 aplica solamente a los pacientes adultos, la definición operante de sepsis pedíátrica incluía (hasta ahora) los criterios del síndrome de respuesta inflamatoria sistémica (SIRS por sus siglas en inglés). Ya sabemos, de la definición de Sepsis 3.0, que los criterios de SIRS tienen serias limitaciones a la hora de definir sepsis. No significa que no sea útiles como signos de alerta de que un paciente pudiera requerir atención médica de emergencia, pero no necesariamente están asociados a resultados adversos en pacientes pediátricos. Por lo tanto, desde que se publicó la definición de Sepsis 3.0 en el 2016 estamos esperando la definición de sepsis pediátrica. Poder hacer esto requiere el mismo rigor científico que para la contraparte adulta, pero al fin se completó y aquí lo tenemos. Conceptualmente hablando, sepsis en adultos y pediátricos es muy parecido. De hecho, desde el 2016, muchos estamos usando el fallo orgánico en el marco de referirnos a alguien con sepsis indistintamente de la edad. La razón es simple: el concepto de sepsis es que sepsis no es solamente la respuesta normal a una infección, sino una respuesta anormal que está causando una amenaza a la vida. El hecho de que el paciente tenga un fallo orgánico distal al punto de la infección original refleja la naturaleza sistémica del proceso que lleva a la sepsis. ¿Los niños son adultos pequeños? Obviamente hay diferencias entre los adultos y pediátricos: Signos vitales normales varían según la edad. Sistema inmune varía según la edad Comorbilidades son diferentes Así es que cuando se define la condición en pacientes pediátricos hay que utilizar números diferentes. Los números de la puntuación SOFA no aplican a los pediátricos. By Dr. Julio Javier Gamazo del RioServicio de Urgencias.

Hospital Universitario Clínico San Carlos - http://semes.org/sites/default/files/archivos/Los-Nuevos-Criterios-De-Sepsis.pdf, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=54877568 Puntuación de Sepsis Pediátrica de Phoenix En pacientes con infección, se define sepsis pediátrica cuando el paciente pediátrico tiene al menos 2 puntos en la Escala de Sepsis Pediátrica de Phoenix, que consiste en un agregado de fallo cardiovascular, respiratorio, neurológico y de coagulación. Es importante señalar que esta escala sirve en pacientes con una infección sospechada o confirmada. No es una escala que se puede utilizar en otro contexto que no sea la evaluación de un paciente pediátrico con infección. JAMA. Published online January 21, 2024. doi:10.1001/jama.2024.0179 Aplica a pacientes de 18 años o menos, pero no aplica a recién nacidos, o neonatos que hayan nacido menores de 37 semanas de gestación. Toda recomendación hecha en base a evidencia obtenida de pacientes adultos tiene que ser investigada en una población pediátrica antes de concluir que es aplicable. Shock séptico = sepsis + disfunción cardiovascular La disfunción cardiovascular se puede medir funcionalmente como un paciente con al menos 1 punto en los criterios cardiovasculares. Es decir, un paciente pediátrico que tenga criterios de sepsis (2 puntos o más en la Escala de Sepsis Pediátrica) de los cuales al menos 1 punto provenga de los criterios cardiovasculares: Hipotensión severa para la edad Lactato > 5 mmol/L Uso de medicamentos vasoactivos Poniéndolo todo junto JAMA. Published online January 21, 2024. doi:10.1001/jama.2024.0179 Generalizabilidad El artículo de la nueva definición detalla la sensibilidad de la nueva definición en contextos de altos recursos versus bajos recursos. Es decir, la nueva definición de sepsis pediátrica es más fácil de medir en lugares de bajos recursos en comparación a la puntuación SOFA para adultos. La Puntuación de Sepsis de Phoenix incluye criterios como la disfunción de la coagulación que pudieran no estar disponibles fácilmente en escenarios de bajos recursos, pero los autores concluyen que existe suficiente redundancia con los demás criterios para mantener una sensibilidad adecuada. La Escala de Sepsis Pediátrica de Phoenix utiliza evalúa solamente 4 órganos. Sin embargo, existe otra variante que es la Escala Phoenix-8 que evalúa otros órganos. Estas evaluaciones adicionales pudieran no estar disponibles en lugares de bajos recursos, pero no deja de ser criterios adicionales a considerar al evaluar pacientes que requieran algún apoyo multisistémico. Para más información sobre la validación de los Criterios de Sepsis Pediátrica de Phoenix, vea este otro artículo publicado simultáneamente a la nueva definición. Limitación La Puntuación de Sepsis Pediátrica de Phoenix es una forma de definir que el paciente ya tiene sepsis. No es una herramienta para identificar el paciente en riesgo de desarrollar sepsis. Entonces, es importante recordar que solamente porque un paciente NO cumpla con los criterios de la Puntuación de Sepsis de Phoenix no significa que no requiere atención agresiva a la infección.

In this episode, Adyn, Dr. Nathan Freeman, and Will discuss some of the biggest aspects of pediatric sepsis, and specifically early identification and management of septic shock. Everything from basic recognition of sick to pressors of choice and standard dosing is discussed by the three. Early identification and management is key to improving the morbidity, mortality and length of stay of some of these challenging patients.

Miracles happen every day, and when your last name is quite literally Miracle, you have to believe it! As author and speaker Gary Miracle describes it, his life caught up to his name in 2020 when an infection nearly killed him after going into septic shock and caused him to lose his arms and legs. His incredible story reached the world when the Grammy-nominated Christian band “MercyMe” shared it through their music video “Say I Won't.” Now Gary sits down with Nine-time Emmy winner David Sams to chat about his personal story of survival, relationship with lead singer Bart Millard, and new outlook on life. Gary's book, “No More Bad Days” is an inspiration for anyone who has experienced loss or trauma. #GaryMiracleSpeaks #MercyMe #NoMoreBadDays #SayIWont #DavidSams #KeepTheFaith #ContagiousInfluencer

The recording of the session from the 8th World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery that we discuss in this episode can be found here.
Alyssa Nilsen shares how what started as a perfect delivery of her baby girl, turned into a body infection where her heart started failing. She talks about what it was like to have to say goodbye to her newborn in the hospital and be life-flighted to another hospital. She was told that she most likely wouldn't survive the surgery that they needed to do. She woke up the next week to a hysterectomy, a thick scar on her abdomen, pneumonia, and more pain from the events her body had gone through. We talk about what her recovery journey has been like with not only physical therapy, but checking on her mental health. Alyssa has a podcast with her husband as well called "Love, The Nilsen's." She talks about how her family gave her strength to endure this big trial. Alyssa and her husband's Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/love-the-nilsens/id1633716693

September is Sepsis Awareness Month, so host Sarah Lorenzini is throwing it back to one of the earliest Rapid Response RN podcast episodes with guest Yesha APRN. This episode tells the story of a patient with sepsis, and it's one of Sarah's favorite episodes because it exemplifies all of the classic signs and symptoms of sepsis as well as the important role the nurse plays in caring for septic patients.Last week, you learned about fluid resuscitation and the potential harm of fluid overload in the treatment of sepsis. In this episode, you'll hear how Sarah and Yesha's patient responded to fluid boluses and what made them advocate for a different treatment approach.Sarah then goes deeper into the pathophysiology of sepsis, indicators of sepsis using SIRS criteria and the qSOFA score, and more indicators any nurse can test without a tool. You'll also find out how to treat a patient with sepsis, which diagnostics to run, and what you can do to promote a return to homeostasis in your patient.Tune in to learn the signs and symptoms of sepsis and septic shock, and how to facilitate early detection. Plus, hear Yesha's takeaways from this patient story that will benefit all nurses in their treatment of sepsis!Topics discussed in this episode:Yesha's nursing journey and updates on her careerHow Yesha's patient presented and his response to fluid administrationWhat made her decide to call a rapid response nurse, SarahSarah's assessment of the patient and how they treated himThe pathophysiology of sepsisSIRS criteria and qSOFA score for prediction of sepsisWhat happens in the “septic inflammatory cascade of awfulness”How to detect sepsis earlyTreatment and management of a sepsis patientRead the article, “Fluid selection & pH-guided fluid resuscitation” by Dr. Josh Farkas, here:https://emcrit.org/ibcc/fluid/Mentioned in this episode:AND If you are planning to sit for your CCRN and would like to take the Critical Care Academy CCRN prep course you can visit https://www.ccrnacademy.com and use coupon code RAPID10 to get 10% off the cost of the course!

With sepsis, or septicemia, it can get real complicated, real fast. But we're gonna try to just keep it simple today and talk about what you really need to know as nursing students.Sepsis is when the body has an extreme response to an infection. The body tries so hard to fight off the infection, that it can even damage the patient's own tissues and organs. Sepsis usually starts with a bacterial infection, but we also see it caused by fungal, viral, or even parasitic infections.Acronyms used in this episode:TIME: Temperature, Infection, Mental decline, and Extremely illHATTT: Hypotension, Altered Mental State, Tachycardia, Tachypnea, and TemperatureCALL IT: Cultures, Antibiotics, Lactate, Lactate, IV Fluids, and Tissue perfusionCheck out Picmonic for an audiovisual learning system with unforgettable stories to help you remember EVERYTHING you need to know for nursing school.Click here for 20% off!https://www.picmonic.com/viphookup/nursingschoolweekbyweekLEW23Instagram: Nursing School Week by Week PodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nursingschoolweekbyweekWebsite: www.nursingschoolweekbyweek.com
