Video Summary
Hospital-acquired sepsis is a significant concern that requires early recognition and appropriate management. These patients are often sicker, and their presentations can be more insidious compared to community-acquired sepsis. Delays in recognition and intervention are common due to the complexity of hospital-acquired infections. However, the principles of care for hospital-acquired sepsis are the same as those for community-acquired sepsis. Early identification and timely intervention are key in improving outcomes. This includes measuring lactate, obtaining blood cultures, starting broad-spectrum antibiotics, and providing rapid fluid resuscitation in patients with signs of organ dysfunction. The care path for hospital-acquired sepsis should focus on source control, narrowing antibiotic therapy, and optimizing hemodynamic support. It is important to have a team approach to sepsis care, with ongoing reassessment and communication among all healthcare providers. Rapid response teams and sepsis response teams can play a crucial role in improving outcomes for hospital-acquired sepsis patients. Overall, a culture of sepsis improvement is necessary to ensure effective and timely care for these patients. The goal is to survive hospital-acquired sepsis by implementing a systematic approach that includes early recognition, intervention, reassessment, and collaboration among the healthcare team.
