Impending septic doom
generic approach
- What is the source of infection?
- Right place?
- Cultures, gas (lactate and acid-base status), other bloods to look for true septic doom
Resuscitation - A/B: oxygen → ventilation/respiratory support?
- C: Access, fluids
- D: Glucose management
Source control - WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF INFECTION?
Not all that looks septic
non-resolving pneumonias
other causes of shock? the cardiac baby?
