If initial lactate 36, repeat lactate within 3 hours after initial lactate AND perform a volume and tissue perfusion assessment.

In addition to our current practice CMS Requires the following documentation Re-measure lactate if initial lactate elevated > 2 mmol/l OR >18 mg/dl Administer vasopressors (for hypotension that does not respond to initial fluid resuscitation) to maintain a mean arterial pressure (MAP) 65mmHg In the event of persistent hypotension after initial fluid administration (MAP < 65 mm Hg) or if initial lactate is 4 mmol/l or 36 mg/dl, a complete volume status and tissue perfusion assessment must be documented by a Physician/APN/PA 10 Physician/APN/PA Documentation of Volume Status and Tissue Perfusion by Completing A Repeat focused exam (after initial fluid resuscitation) by a Physician/APN/PA including vital signs, cardiopulmonary, capillary refill, pulse and skin findings Or Two of the following: Measure CVP Measure ScvO2 Bedside cardiovascular ultrasound Dynamic assessment of fluid responsiveness with passive leg raise or fluid challenge 11 Time Zero = The Earliest Time Noted Can equal triage time if all signs and symptoms are present at triage At the time chart documentation notes signs and symptoms are present (2 SIRS, Physician/APN/PA Documentation of a real or possible infection, and NEW or ACUTE onset of organ dysfunction and/or failure) When a Physician/APN/PA documents the patient has Severe Sepsis or Septic Shock *Documentation of the above can be found in nursing documentation, labs, flow sheets, Physician/APN/PA documentation, or anything with a time stamp 12 4
