Porcine model of peritonitis-induced sepsis is a well-established clinically relevant model of human disease. Interindividual variability of the response often complicates the interpretation of findings. To better understand the biological basis of the disease variability, the progression of the disease was compared between animals with sepsis and septic shock. Peritonitis was induced by inoculation of autologous feces in fifteen anesthetized, mechanically ventilated and surgically instrumented pigs and continued for 24 h. Cardiovascular and biochemical parameters were collected at baseline (just before peritonitis induction), 12 h, 18 h and 24 h (end of the experiment) after induction of peritonitis. Analysis of multiple parameters revealed the earliest significant differences between sepsis and septic shock groups in the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, systemic vascular resistance, partial pressure of oxygen in mixed venous blood and body temperature. Other significant functional differences developed later in the course of the disease. The data indicate that SOFA score, hemodynamical parameters and body temperature discriminate early between sepsis and septic shock in a clinically relevant porcine model. Early pronounced alterations of these parameters may herald a progression of the disease toward irreversible septic shock.

In patients with septic shock, a correlation between positive fluid balance and worsened outcomes has been reported in multiple observational studies worldwide. No published data exists in an Australasian cohort. We set out to explore this association in our institution. We conducted a retrospective audit of patient records from August 2012 to May 2015 in a single-centre, 24-bed surgical and medical intensive care unit (ICU) in Sydney, Australia. All patients with septic shock were included. Exclusion criteria included length of stay less than 24 hours or vasopressors needed for less than six hours. Data was gathered on fluid balance for the first seven days of ICU admission, biochemical data and other clinical indices. The primary outcome measure was survival to hospital discharge. One hundred and eighty-six patients with septic shock were included, with an overall hospital mortality of 23.7%. Seventy-five percent of patients required mechanical ventilation, and 27.4% required haemodialysis. The mean daily fluid balance on the first day of admission was positive 1,424 ml and 1,394 ml for ICU and hospital survivors, respectively. On average, the daily fluid balance for non-survivors was higher than the survivors: ICU non-survivors were 602 (95% confidence intervals 230, 974) ml (P=0.0015) and hospital non-survivors were 530 [95% confidence intervals 197, 863] ml (P=0.0017) higher than the survivors. In line with other recently published data, after adjustment for confounders (severity of illness based on the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation score) we found a correlation between positive fluid balance and worsened hospital mortality in critically ill patients with sepsis and septic shock. Further research investigating rational use of fluids in this patient group is needed.

Abstract Background Sepsis-3, the recent sepsis definitions, was modified based on a scoring system focused on organ failure; however, it would remain a time-consuming process to detect septic patients using these definitions. Adrenomedullin (AM) is a biomarker for diagnosing sepsis and septic shock, monitoring treatment efficacy, and prognosis. We conducted a study to assess the accuracy of AM for diagnosing and prognosing sepsis and septic shock based on the Sepsis-3 definitions.Methods This is a prospective observational single-center study. Patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) were retrospectively categorized as non-sepsis, sepsis, or septic shock by Sepsis-3 definitions. Total AM (tAM) and mature AM (mAM) were measured upon ICU admission. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analyses were performed by calculating the area under the curve (AUC) for diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis and septic shock.ResultsA total of 98 patients were enrolled in the final analysis. Among these, 42, 22, and 34 patients were assigned to non-sepsis, sepsis, and septic shock, respectively. tAM and mAM levels significantly increased according to the severity of sepsis. The AUCs of tAM/mAM for diagnosing sepsis and septic shock were 0.879/0.848 and 0.858/0.830, respectively, whereas those of procalcitonin (PCT)/presepsin (PSEP) were 0.822/0.682 and 0.811/0.661, respectively. The AUCs of tAM/mAM on Day 1 and 3 for predicting 28-day mortality of septic patients were 0.669/0.5741 and 0.931/0.892, respectively, whereas those of sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score/lactate were 0.669/0.824 and 0.922/0.794, respectively.Conclusions Both tAM and mAM are reliable, early biomarkers to diagnose sepsis and septic shock according to the Sepsis-3 definitions, and are comparable to PCT. Furthermore, AM level on Day 3 is a reliable biomarker to predict 28-day mortality due to sepsis, which is comparable to that of the SOFA score and lactate level.

Sepsis is a syndrome consisting of physiological, pathological and biochemical anomalies caused by infectious agents. It causes clinical organ dysfunction, which is identified by an acute increase in the Sequential (sepsis-related) Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score of two or more points. SOFA score is a score of three components that can be easily used at the bedside to track the clinical status of a patient while on admission, and these are altered respiratory rate of ≥ 22 breaths/minute, altered mental status, and systolic blood pressure of ≤ 100 mmHg. A patient with SOFA score of ≥ 2 has an attributable 2 - 25-fold increased risk of mortality compared to a patient with SOFA score of ˂ 2. This present review provides information on the new definition of sepsis and septic shock, aetiology, pathophysiology, biochemical, pathological and haematological changes, morbidity and mortality parameters, management, andprognostic factors in patients with sepsis. Key words: Sepsis, septic shock, SOFA score, pathophysiology, management bundles

Sepsis merupakan kondisi disfungsi organ mengancam nyawa yang diakibatkan oleh disregulasi sistem imun pejamu terhadap infeksi dan Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score merupakan suatu skoring untuk menilai kegagalan organ terkait sepsis. Peningkatan SOFA score diasosiasikan dengan outcome pasien yang lebih buruk.  Tujuan: Menganalisis korelasi SOFA score dengan mortalitas pada pasien sepsis. Metode: Desain penelitian adalah kohort prospektif yang dilakukan di RSU Dr Saiful Anwar dari Maret 2018 hingga Juni 2019. Kriteria diagnosis sepsis ditegakkan berdasarkan The Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock (Sepsis-3). Perhitungan SOFA score dilakukan dalam 2 hari pertama perawatan pasien sepsis di rumah sakit. Analisis data dilakukan pada p < 0,05. Hasil: Didapatkan 85 pasien sepsis dengan luaran meninggal sebanyak 72,94% sedangkan 28,06% membaik. Terdapat perbedaan bermakna antara SOFA score yang meninggal dan yang hidup (p=0,015).  SOFA score dipakai untuk memprediksi kematian, didapatkan area under the curve (AUC) 0,74 (p=0,009), dengan cut off point optimum 7. Pada total SOFA score lebih tinggi dari sama dengan 7, didapatkan RR= 3.8, p=0.028. SOFA score merupakan parameter untuk menilai kegagalan organ pada pasien sepsis, dimana total SOFA score yang lebih tinggi dikaitkan dengan peningkatan risiko kematian. Simpulan: SOFA score pada kelompok yang meninggal lebih tinggi daripada yang sembuh. Pasien sepsis dengan SOFA score lebih besar sama dengan 7 memiliki risiko 3,8 kali lebih besar untuk meninggal.Kata kunci: risiko kematian, sepsis, SOFA score

 Introduction: Sepsis is a common problem encountered in emergency room which needs to be intervened early. It is always difficult to have quick prognostic marker of sepsis in busy emergency. So this study was conducted to determine whether base deficit can be used as an indicator of mortality among septic patients in emergency room setup like ours. Methods: It was a hospital based descriptive cross sectional study done at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu from March 2018 to December 2018. Acute physiology and chronic health Evaluation II score (APACHE II), Base deficit, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score on first day of arrival in emergency room was calculated. The association of 28-day outcome with acute physiology and chronic Health Evaluation II score, Base deficit value and SOFA score were derived. Results: Out of 229 patients with septic shock 62 died (27%) and among 71 patients without septic shock, 12 died (16.9%).Overall mortality was 24.66 % (n= 74).The area under the ROC curve for Base deficit(0.864;95% C.I.=0.822-0.906), APACHE II (0.782; 95% C.I=0.718-0.848, SOFA (0.689;95% C.I=0.620-0.757) were greater than 0.7 except for SOFA which signifies these test to have fair efficacy to predict mortality. Conclusions: High base deficit value predicts mortality in patients with sepsis and septic shock. The base deficit could be used as an alternate marker to predict mortality in septic patient. We recommend for large multicenter study with randomization so that the findings can be applied to general population and of different geographical situations.
