內科值班04

Sepsis 敗血症

定義:感染 + Organ Dysfunction (SOFA≥2), not SIRS now

重點:內科急症,如果懷疑,盡早使用廣效抗生素

前言:當一個病人(1)發燒 或(2)有既存感染+臨床(vital signs, UOP, GCS)有變化,都要評估有無sepsis的可能性

懷疑sepsis先算qSOFA (≥兩項):

  1. 意識 GCS<15
  2. 血壓 SBP≤100
  3. 呼吸 RR≥22

如果qSOFA≥兩項,進入Hour-1 Bundle流程

1. 抽血:

  • CBC/DC, BCS, ABG(?), Lactate, 兩套B/C, U/A, U/C, S/C, CXR

2. 廣效抗生素(一小時內給,依腎功能調整劑量):

  • 本院首選tazocin,已經在用的話升階meropenem
  • 懷疑MRSA感染再加Vancomycin or teicoplanin (腎功能差選teico,前三天都不用腎調)
  • 感染科會診單可暫存,先把醫囑開出去,病歷後面再慢慢打

3. 點滴(血壓掉 或 lactate>4):

  • 先給N/S 500ml (病房有可以直接給),再給L/R (優於N/S)
  • 總量30ml/kg in 3hr,但如果給到要喘起來還是問一下二線比較好 (eg. 年紀大或有HF)
  • Vital signs不穩的話要放Foley,記I/O,Hold 血壓藥

4. 醫囑(抽血、抗生素、點滴)先開完,接下來好好survey,找infection focus

  • Hx (Underlying dz, Associated s/s) + PE (from head to toe) + Lab (eg. 之前的Culture, CXR)
  • Sourse control (跟二線或原主治討論), eg. 切CT排除IAI, APN+水腎放 PCN, calculous cholecystitis 做 ERCP, abscess 做 aspiration 或 drainage

5. 升壓劑 (1st line: levophed): 通知二線,狀況不穩定且需要下ICU

  • 使用時機: 輸液無法維持MAP≥65 (CRT>2s, UOP<0.5ml/kg/hr, AMS 也要懷疑shock)
  • 確認DNR status,有沒有拒升壓藥

  2. PaO2/FiO2
  3. GCS
  4. T-bili
  5. Cr and UOP
  6. PLT

Septic shock

  • 考慮:
    COVID PCR, Influenza Ag
    Pneumonia panel? (high risk of aspiration, refractory to tx?)
    Chest CT (懷疑細菌性肺炎以外的診斷, eg. fungal/viral/chemical/PE/CHF/ARDS/DAH/ILD, 懷疑ILD要做HRCT)
    BAL (懷疑VAP或Atypical pneumonia)
    PCT (<0.25可停abx, 免疫不全跟CKD不適用, 偽陽: CPR, shock, burns, surgery)

Severity (qSOFA, CURB65, PSI)

  • CURB-65: confusion, BUN>20, RR>30, BP<90/60, Age>65 (>2: admit, >3: ICU)
  • PSI(按計算機): age, sex, 住機構, 共病, vital signs, AMS, lab (pH, BUN, Na, Glu, Hct, PaO2, pleural effusion)

Management

  • Sepsis → Early Abx ; Cover pathogen accordingly
