What is the definition of sepsis? - CORReCT ANSWeR-Systemic inflammatory response to
infection (proven or suspected). Systemic means not localized to initial site of infection,
generalized or "whole body."
What are the symptoms that you would be looking for in a patient with sepsis? -
CORReCT ANSWeR-Fever greater than 38 deg. C (100.4 deg F) or less than 36 deg. C (96.8
deg F). Tachycardia (greater than 90 beats/min). Tachypnea (greater than 20 breaths/min)
or PaCO2 (<32mm). Leukocytosis with greater than 12,000 or less than 4,000 cells/mm3.
How do you know when a patient goes from sepsis to severe sepsis? - CORReCT
ANSWeR-Hypotension (Systolic BP of less than 90 mmHg, rising after IV fluid bolus),
Oliguria (<0.5 mL per kg body weight per hour after fluid bolus. Hypoxemia (PaO2 less
than 70 mmHg). Increased blood lactate. DIC: thrombocytopenia (<100,000 per cu mm),
increased PT or PTT (1.5x upper limit of normal), or increased fibrin degradation
products (D-dimers). Altered mental status.
How do you know when a patient goes from sepsis to septic shock? - CORReCT ANSWeR-
Systolic BP of less than 90 mmHg not rising after intravenous fluid bolus.
What are the risk factors of sepsis? - CORReCT ANSWeR-Elderly, immunocompromised,
underlying chronic diseases, like cancer, diabetes, emphysema, renal failure, cirrhosis,
urinary catheter, indwelling IV catheter, hospitalization, recent surgery or trauma, burns,
or splenectomy.
What is the most common cause of sepsis in U.S.A.? - CORReCT ANSWeR-52% are due to
Gram positive bugs (Staph. aureus, Staph epidermidis, Strep. pneumoniae)
