Common Pathological Pathways
The immune response
1- Inflammatory mediators ->> Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS )
2- Anti-inflammatory mediators ->> Compensatory anti-inflammatory response syndrome (CARS)
3- The conflict between these two immune responses (SIRS) vs. (CARS) will end up with:
A- Cure
B- Death (Parenchymal cell Necrosis and Apoptosis )
C- Long standing inflammation ->> Multi organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS ) or Failure (MOF)

Sepsis is the systemic inflammatory
response syndrome (SIRS) due to severe
infection
Micro-organisms grow out of control =>
hyperinflammatory response
With this insidious pathology the body
attacks itself (auto immunity)
=> life threatening risk of organ
dysfunction, septic shock and death
Micro-organisms can invade the body
through wounds, IV lines, catheters etc
Infection does not mean Sepsis

Sepsis, Sever Sepsis and
Septic shock
A race to Death between Host
immune system & Pathogens
Sepsis Kills more than 210,000
people in the US annually
Sepsis Kills about 1,400 people
worldwide every day
Severe sepsis
is the leading cause of
death in the non-
Coronary ICU
Sepsis
has very low Standard of
Care in hospitals
The graph shows, more people die each year in the USA of severe
sepsis and septic shock than many other major diseases 
Sepsis before one century
• Infection was a major problem
during surgery
• People died after surgery from the
infection
• Compound (open) fractures almost
always ended in death because of
infection
(Operative treatment only after failure
of repeated conservative trials)

Antibiotic Grouping By Mechanism
Causes of Sepsis
Bacterial infections are the most common
Begin by invasion => growth out of control =>
hyper inflammatory response
Result from something seemingly harmless as a
scraped knee or nicked cuticle or from a more
serious medical problem such as appendicitis,
pneumonia, meningitis, urinary tract infection,
osteomyelitis
In hospitalized patients, common sites include IV
lines, surgical incisions, urinary catheters and bed
sores
Causes of Sepsis
G-ve Bacilli endotoxins : 2
G+ve Bacilli : 1
E.coli, klebsiella, proteus, bactroids,
psuedomonas
Genito-urinary tract the most common site
Wounds, IV lines, Catheters, sores, etc
Causes of Sepsis
Two main types of bacterial toxins
1- Endotoxins
lip polysaccharide (LPS)
or lipooligosaccharide (LOS)
which are associated with the cell wall
of Gram-negative bacteria
2- Exotoxins
Proteins which are released from
bacterial cells and act at tissue sites
remote from the site of bacterial growth
Bacterial Toxigenesis
Endotoxins : LPS – LOS
Exotoxins: proteins
Necrotizing Fasciitis - flesh eating
bacteria
1- Mainly virulent group A beta
hemolytic streptococcus
2- Enterobacteriaceae 
a large family of gram negative, non-
spore forming rods, which are
facultative anaerobe
anaerobes include:
bacteroides fragilis
Peptostreptococcus
clostridium species
aerobes include:
staph aureus
escherichia coli
Gas gangrene - Clostridium perfringens
Tetanus - Clostridium tetani
Highly characteristic abnormal, sustained spasm of
facial muscles
Sign of Tetanus & poisoning with Strychnine
Risus Sardonicus
Sepsis Risk Factors
•Immune compromised people due to
Illnesses as HIV/AIDS or Cancer
Drugs (to prevent rejection of
transplanted organs – corticosteroids)
•Very young babies and The elderly
with other health problems
•Hospitalized people with an invasive
medical procedures
• Uncontrolled Diabetes

The Capillary Bed
-Adult human have 60,000 miles (96,560 km) of
capillaries
- Surface area 800–1000 m2
(an area greater
than three tennis courts)
- How the total volume of this system is roughly 5
liters, same as the total volume of blood ?
If the heart and major vessels are to be kept
filled, all the capillaries cannot be filled at once
So a continual redirection of blood from organ
to organ takes place in response to the
changing needs of the body
For example:
During vigorous exercise,capillary beds in the
skeletal muscles open at the expense of those
in the viscera. The reverse occurs after a heavy
meal
The Capillary Bed
The Capillary Bed
The walls of arterioles are encased in Smooth Muscles. Constriction of arterioles
decreases blood flow into the capillary beds they supply
while dilation has the opposite effect.. These actions are carried out by the autonomic
nervous system
What is shock?
Acute disruption of circulatory function,
resulting in
Insufficiency of tissue perfusion, oxygen
utilization and cellular energy producion
(? skeletal muscles – lactic acid)
Low BP is NOT sine qua non of shock
What ‘type of shock’ is septic
shock?
Septic shock has the features of:
1- Hypovolemic shock
2- Cardiac shock
3- Distributive shock
What is shock?
Capillary beds may open without others closing in
compensation. (maldistribution)
The volume of blood remains unchanged while The blood
pools in the capillary beds. (relative hypovolaemia). The
Blood pressure declines abruptly and If untreated shock is
usually fatal
Hypovollemic Shock can also result from severe bleeding
The heart can only pump as much blood as it receives. If
insufficient blood gets back to the heart, its output — and
hence blood pressure — drops. (Cardiogenic).
The tissues fail to receive enough oxygen. This is
especially critical for the brain and the heart itself
To cope with the problem, arterioles constrict and shut
down the capillary beds — except those in the brain and
heart. This reduces the volume of the system and helps
maintain normal blood pressure
Septic shock has the
features of:
1- Hypovolemic shock
2- Cardiac shock
3- Distributive shock
What ‘type of shock is septic shock?
Septic shock
Pathological Pathway
1- Endo toxins (LPS – LOS)
2- Vasoconstriction + DIC
3- Tissue anoxia => Lactic acid
production
4- Metabolic acidosis (Lactic acid)
5- Vasodilatation => Stagnant anoxia
6- Tissue necrosis => Capillary damage
=> Fluid loss

Activated Protein C
(natural anticoagulant in DIC)
Protein C in septic patients
• The plasma concentration of
Proein C is reduced in septic
patients due to:
– Capillary leak
– Degradation by elastase
– Decreased synthesis
– Increased consumption
during DIC
• Activation of PC is compromised
in septic patients because the
endothelial expression of
thrombomodulin and endothelial
protein C receptor is suppressed
• 3-hour Bundle – Actions to be taken within the first 3
hours of resuscitation from initial recognition for adults
and within 60 minutes from initial recognition for
pediatric patients.
• 6 – hour Bundle – Actions to be taken within the first 6
hours of resuscitation from initial recognition for adults
and within 60 minutes from initial recognition for
pediatric patients.
Best Practice Treatment of Severe Sepsis
 Two treatment track – invasive or non-invasive
 Track followed is based on the criticality and initial
response to hemodynamic measures
Resuscitation Bundles
3-hour and 6-hour Bundle Division
•Serum lactate
•Blood cultures
•Additional cultures potential site of infection
•Antibiotic administration
early and appropriate broad-spectrum
antibiotic
within 3 hour for ED presentation.
within 1 hour for floors/ICU presentation
•Fluid replacement
hypotension and/or lactate >4 mmol/L
A minimum of 30 ml/kg of fluids in adults
and 20mL/kg of fluids in children.
Resuscitation Bundle
3-hour Bundle
• Vasopressor therapy
for persistent hypotension (mean arterial
pressure MAP <65 in adults) despite initial fluid
administration
• Re-measure lactate
if the initial value was elevated
• Invasive
 A central venous catheter capable of measuring CVP
• Non-invasive
 Contraindications for invasive track
 Trending of lactate levels to gauge fluid response
Resuscitation Bundle

Reliability and
Mortality
Sepsis simply is a Race to death between the
host immune system and the pathogens
 
Sepsis, (SIRS due to severe infection)
kills more than 210,000 people in the US /year
kills about 1,400 people worldwide every day
Significant decrease in Mortality due to
increased Recognition and early Treatment
Severe Sepsis Treatment Reliability and
Mortality
The key behind successful
treatment is !
1- Early recognition by
Clinical judgment
2- Recognize septic shock
by High index of
suspicions
3- Start Early treatment
Parameters that affect outcome after infection. The natural evolution of a systemic inflammatory
disorder or a sepsis is greatly influenced by parameters linked to the pathogen(s), the ICU treatments
and by many others elements associated with the patient. [Cavaillon & Adrie – IN Sepsis and Non-

    Parameters that affectoutcome after infection. The natural evolution of a systemic inflammatory disorder or a sepsis is greatly influenced by parameters linked to the pathogen(s), the ICU treatments and by many others elements associated with the patient. [Cavaillon & Adrie – IN Sepsis and Non- infectious Systemic Inflammation: From Biology to Critical Care, Wiley Sept. 2008]

Editor's Notes

  • #4 First phase is immediate death or shortly thereafter due to severe brain injury, or disruption of the heart, aorta, or great vessels. Second phase: Death occurs minutes to a few hours. Deaths are due to lifethreating injuries such as subdural, epidural hematomas, hemopneumothoraces, severe abdominal injuries, long bone fractures, multiple injuries associated with blood loss. This is the group that with rapid evacuation , resuscitation and proper early management can be given the best chance for survival and improved outcomes. Third phase: Patients die days to weeks from multiple system organ failure and sepsis. Specialized centers with their expertise and experience can reduce mortality in the second and third phases

  • #42 The Society for Critical Care Medicine developed a screening tool for the evaluation of a septic patient. If all three questions are answered “yes,” the patient meets the criteria for Severe Sepsis and should begin treatment. Both date and time of presentation are noted for accurate reporting.
  • #61 Our 2006 baseline period provided a hospital-wide sepsis mortality rate of nearly 26 deaths per 100 discharges. Despite overall improvements throughout the proceeding years and significant progress in our Emergency Department, our inpatient units remained near baseline. Use of the alert has increased our capture rate on these inpatient units while ensuring earlier recognition and timely treatment has decreased our mortality rate to below 20 deaths per 100 discharges.
