2 Objectives Acquire knowledge on defining sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock Recognize SIRS criteria. Define sepsis as it relates to pathophysiological changes in patients Describe methods used to improve EGDT 6 Hour measures.

3 Leverage and Optimize KPHC Culture of Safety and Teamwork World Class Hospital Goal Drivers Focus Areas Do No Harm Prevent Infections Prevent Falls Prevent Pressure Ulcers Medication Safety Surgical Safety Perinatal Safety The Quality Leader Evidence Based Care Acute Myocardial Infarction Heart Failure Pneumonia Surgical Care Stroke Sepsis Perinatal Care Critical Care Delirium Management Patient Mobility Pediatrics Coordinated Care Palliative Care Life Care Planning Excellent Transitions 3

4 Sepsis A clinical syndrome Systemic inflammation due to infection A continuum: Sepsis > severe sepsis > shock 750,000 cases / year in U.S. Any age, race, gender, or ethic groups 200,000 fatalities Mortality rate is 40% or more for severe sepsis or septic shock.

5 Sepsis in Perspective - NCAL AMI Admissions AMI Mortality Sepsis Admissions Sepsis Mortality AMI mortality rate 4.7% Sepsis mortality rate 24%

6 How Big an Issue is Sepsis? 205,548 Adult Hospital Admissions 2007 KPNC Adult Hospital Stays, includes OB 24% of All Deaths 1,364 Deaths from Sepsis 2.7% of All Admissions 5,558 Sepsis Admissions 199,990 Other Admissions 4,302 Deaths from Everything Else Mortality Rate 25% A Big Issue: 1 in 4 deaths Eleven times the mortality rate Mortality Rate 2.2%

7 The Spectrum of Sepsis

8 Goals for Sepsis Care

9 Does Early Goal Directed Therapy Work? Mortality (16% absolute reduction) Organ dysfunction Need for vasopressors (15%) Sudden cardiopulmonary complications (100%) ICU LOS and Health Care Resources (20%) From Henry Ford Hospital, E. Rivers NEJM 2001: 345;

10 Treatment of Sepsis Supportive care Respiratory support Hemodynamic support Assure perfusion to vital organs Control the Septic Focus Obtain cultures Remove source and debride or drain Antibiotics Septic Exotica Corticosteroids

11 Prognostic Value of Elevated Lactate * Source: Gabriel Escobar, MD DOR

12 Impact of Elevated Lactate 2079 elevated lactates KPNC Q Results based on elevated lactate in ED for patients then admitted, not specific to sepsis 18 patients a day 1653 intermediate lactates (2-4) 426 high (>4) lactates 5 patients a day 10% mortality 32% mortality 165 deaths 136 deaths -1 in 10 dies- -1 in 3 dies- 55% of lactate-associated mortalities are in intermediate lactate group. This group accounts for over 10% of all hospital mortalities. The intermediate lactate mortality was more than double that of our AMI patients. High lactate mortality was 7X the AMI mortality rate.

16 Summary Early Diagnosis with sepsis screening tools. Risk stratification with lactate level and follow up of lactate trends Document the Sepsis diagnosis. Early resuscitation improves mortality, confirmed by RCT. Use of a Sepsis Order Set for uniformity of basic care. Collaborative team effort.

17

18 Key Components to Success Appropriate education and Training Frontline staff engagement, ownership and involvement Transparency of data: collection and review Multidisciplinary collaboration Clearly delineated roles, responsibilities and processes Standardization of practices In Other Words Build a Solid Foundation on Which to Build a Sustainable and Reliable Practice!!

19 Where we were Mortality rate 19.5% Sepsis Summit Nov 2008

20 The beginning Why was mortality in this population so high? Several key issues identified: We cause it Increased mortality We underestimate it We under treat it

21 The Beginning cont. What did we need to do to address these problems? 1. Find (Name and Document) Sepsis 2. Stratify Risk 3. Reliable Care at All Levels of Risk

23 How?: #2-The Power of Standardization

24 Kaiser Fresno s Process 1. Identify stake holders and Engage the Frontline staff: ED and CCU identified as primary stake holders. 2. Have the right tools and equipment ready to use 3. Adopt Algorithms and Have a Scripted Process 4. Develop and implement education and training 5. Implement EGDT 6. Measure 7. Process Improvement Collaborate!!: Interdisciplinary AND Interdepartmental

25 1. Identify your stake holders and Engage the Frontline staff ED and CCU identified as primary stake holders Develop teams Develop departmental champions and experts: involve them in process development, education and communication Share data and stories with frontline staff and solicit feedback

26 2. Have the right tools and equipment ready to use Ensure that ALL equipment and supplies are readily available and operational these are tools to help, not obstacles to overcome. Central line kits and sterile barriers SvO2 monitoring central line Ultrasound Machines and probe covers CVP transducers, pressure bags etc. Create a Sepsis Cart where all supplies and equipment are centrally located and easily accessed

27 3. Adopt Algorithms and Have a Scripted Process Provides clear and consistent communication as to process steps and outcome measures Provides for reliable execution Standardized ordersets used for ALL EGDT cases: ordersets follow the EGDT algorithms Fluid resuscitation Antibiotics Vasopressors Blood products

29 4. Develop and Implement Education and Training Regional Education: November 2008 Sepsis Summit: Introduction to formalized EGDT process for all EDs and ICUs All 21 northern California Kaiser medical centers attended Data presented Tools presented Algorithms presented Goals set

30 Develop and Implement Education and Training Regional learning brought back to Fresno and local, Facility specific training and education was developed and implemented Focused on frontline staff learning algorithms, tools and goals Development of unit based teams with departmental champions and experts spearheading the educational efforts with frontline staff Small group in the moment hands-on training Staff engagement through direct involvement of implementation efforts

31 RN Education and Training: Round Two: November 2009 All RNs completed online training course on EGDT Comprehensive training for a small group of Super Users. 2-3 per shift Trained in tandem with CCU RNs (establish common understanding of workflows and roles and responsibilities-teamwork) Superusers became departmental champions and trained staff one on one: SIRS recognition, equipment setup and calibration, managing CVP and SCVO2.

32 Implementing Our EGDT Treatment Algorithms

33 Early recognition Identify patients at risk for sepsis as early as possible How? Front line staff key to this effort Education and training as to SIRS and S/Sx Development and implementation of screening tool ALL patients screened upon presentation at triage/arrival Raised awareness Standardized process of assessment

34 Screening Tool

35 Risk Stratification: Lactates in the ED Relatively inexpensive ($ 1- $ 3) Available at the bedside in the ED Marker of tissue hypoxia Increased lactate in setting of infection is an indicator of increased mortality What do levels of > 2 or > 4 Mean?
