    • Draw initial lactate
    • Obtain blood cultures prior to antibiotics
    • Administer broad spectrum antibiotics targeted at source
  • 6 hour bundle:
    • Repeat lactate if initially 2 or greater
    • Clock starts when patient meets criteria for severe sepsis or septic shock

DOCUMENTATION

none specific

Severe sepsis

    • Hypoxia: requiring oxygen
    • Kidney Injury: creatinine > 2 or UOP < 0.5 ml/kg
    • DIC: PLT < 100, INR > 1.5
    • Hepatic dysfunction: bilirubin > 2
    • Lactate > 2
