multi organ dysfunction syndrome

Introduction

Continued patient survival and long-term

quality of life are threatened by two clinical

syndromes-that may result in death or

profound disability

Definition

1. Sepsis - the systemic response to infection.

SBP < 90 mmHg

Acute mental status change

PaO2 < 60 mmHg (PaO2 /FiO2 < 250)

Increased lactic acid/acidosis

Oliguria

DIC or Platelet < 80,000 /mm3

Liver enzymes > 2 x normal

Definition

2. SIRS - is a systemic inflammatory response to a

variety of insults including infection, ischemia,

infarction, and injury. It leads to disorders of

microcirculation, organ perfusion and finally to

secondary organ dysfunction.

3. MODS- the presence of altered organ function in

an acutely ill patient such that homeostasis could not

be maintained without intervention.

Clinical manifestationsNonspecific symptoms of sepsis :

fever

chills

fatigue, malaise

anxiety or confusion

absent symptoms in serious infections, especially in elderly individuals

Clinical staging

stage 1- volume requirements are a little

higher than expected

Stage 2 - occult dysfunction in each organ

stage 3 - each organ has an overt dysfunction

and requires support

stage 4- patient dies from sequential organ

failure.


Diagnosis

History

community or nosocomial infection

immunocompromised patient

underlying diseases

Some clues to a septic event include

Fever or unexplained signs with malignancy or instrumentation

Hypotension

Oliguria or anuria

Tachypnea or hyperpnea

Hypothermia without obvious cause

Bleeding Angus DC, et al Crit Care Med 2001, 29:1303-1310.9/17/2014 27www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.com

Diagnosis

Physical Examination

In all neutropenic patients and pelvic infection

the physical exam should include rectal,

pelvic, and genital examinations

perirectal, and/or perineal abscesses

pelvic inflammatory disease and/or

abscesses, or prostatitis


Diagnosis

CBC

basic metabolic profile

procalcitonin (PCT)

CRP

IL-6 (>300 pg/mL)

Blood cultures

Urinalysis and culture

Cardiac enzymes

Amylase, lipase

Spinal fluid and

Liver profiles

Blood lactate

Complications

1. Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS

2. Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation DIC

3. Acute Renal failure (ARF

4. Intestinal bleeding

5. Liver failure

6. Central Nervous System dysfunction

7. Heart failure

8. Death


List of Nursing Diagnoses

1. Ineffective airway clearance related to excessive secretion, presence of an artificial airway, neuromuscular dysfunction.

2. Impaired gas exchange related to VQ mismatch, intrapulmonary shunting, alveolar hypoventilation.

3. Decreased cardiac output related to alterations to preload, afterload and contractility.

4. Imbalanced nutrition less than body requirements related to less intake of exogenous nutrients and increased metabolic demand.


List of Nursing Diagnoses

5. Ineffective tissue perfusion (cardiopulmonary, renal) related

to decreased myocardial oxygen supply than demand.

6. Acute confusion related to sensory overload, sensory

deprivation and sleep pattern disturbance.


Nursing interventionPrevention and treatment of infection

1. Aggressive infection control strategies

2. Appropriate cultures

3. Initiate broad spectrum antibiotic therapy

4. Early aggressive surgery to remove necrotic tissue

5. Aggressive pulmonary management

6. Strict asepsis


Nursing interventionMaintenance of tissue oxygenation

1. Sedation

2. Mechanical ventilation

3. Analgesia

4. Paralysis and

5. Rest

6. Maintaining normal levels of hemoglobin

7. Use PEEP

8. Increase preload and reduce afterload


Nursing interventionNutritional and metabolic needs

1. Monitor prealbumin and plasma transferrin level

2. Provide adequate nutrition

3. Enteral feeding

without a bold guess.”Isaac Newton
