Course: Key Competences Background: In 2007, the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) published a new curriculum for postgraduate medical education, which has been approved by the Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board 1. In addition, the RCPCH has devised an assessment strategy that uses multisource feedback tools to map specifically to assessment standards. By the completion of Level One training, all trainees are expected to be able to initiate therapy in a child presenting with Sepsis. This scenario/ workshop has been designed to assess competence in management of this key condition of childhood. Curriculum Elements Addressed: The commonest causes of septicaemia in children is meningococcal or pneumococcal, but other causes include Group B streptococcal in young infants, gram negative sepsis in relation to urinary tract or gut problems and group A streptococcal sepsis. Children may present with shock and non blanching rash (if meningococcal). The management of Sepsis can be separated into five distinct phases:

• Assessment • Recognition of the condition • Formulation of differential diagnoses • Investigation • Definitive therapy

Assessment (Expected) Brief history should be obtained (key features – fever, anorexia, sleepy, abdominal pain and vomiting (symptoms often nonspecific). The child should be examined thoroughly. Key features of examination:

• Tachycardia 140 beats.min-1; NIBP 80/50; • CRT 4-5 sec • Tachypnoea 35 breaths.min-1 • Temperature 39oC • Moaning.

Recognition of condition (Expected) Signs are of shock with metabolic acidosis.

Formulation of differential diagnosis (Expected) Diagnostic possibilities include:

• Hypovolaemia, (acute abdomen, haemorrhage) • Acute cardiac (failure, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia) • Distributive (anaphylaxis) • Obstructive (tension pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade) • Dissociative (carbon monoxide poisoning).

Investigations (Expected) Cardiovascular monitoring Pulse oximetry Blood gas, lactate, Glucose Septic screen (partial) [LP should not be performed in this under-resuscitated child] Laboratory investigations (to include U&Es, FBC, CRP, clotting, blood and urine cultures, cross match) Chest X-ray Blood gas reveals metabolic acidosis, lactic acidosis

Definitive Therapy (Expected) 1. Apply oxygen 2. Gain intravenous / intraosseous access 3. Reverse shock (40ml/kg [20ml/kg twice] of 0.9% saline) 4. Antibiotic (Cefotaxime/ Ceftriaxone) 5. Start peripheral inotrope (Dopamine) 6. Call for help (PICU/ anaesthesia) to get child intubated and transferred to PICU 7. Further volume resuscitation 20ml/kg 8. Consider adrenaline infusion 9. Appropriate monitoring, CVS, assess level of consciousness, glucose, potassium 10. Appropriately manage decreased level of consciousness 11. CT scan should not be undertaken unless patient is stabilised 12. Lumbar puncture is contraindicated due to shocked patient with decreased level

of consciousness and prolonged clotting.

Scenario: Septic Shock

Learning Objectives: At the end of the session candidates should be able to: 1. Recognise symptoms and signs of septic shock 2. Gain appropriate access (Intraosseous access if very shocked) 3. Appropriate fluid resuscitation 4. Early antibiotics 5. Profound shock may not respond to volume and need early inotropic

support and ICU assessment 6. Intubate early to allow definitive management to progress 7. Sepsis may present with mixed septicaemic & meningitic picture

Faculty Script: A six year old boy is brought to hospital A&E department by parents. He has had a cold for 3 days and was found in bed this morning very hot and confused. This boy has fluid resistant shock and though he will respond transiently to fluid boluses when administered, he will only stabilise once he has been commenced on peripheral inotropes and appropriate referral to PICU for definitive treatment has been made.

General features of shock: Tachypnoea/ O2 sats <95% Base deficit >5mmol/L Confusion/drowsiness/ LOC Lactate > 2mmol/L Hypotension (LATE sign) urine output

Re-assess Still in shock after 40ml/kg fluid?

Intubation May need intubation & ventilation Call anaesthetist/PICU High risk of collapse if unstable/BP Suggested Induction Drugs IV: 1. Ketamine 2mg/kg Plus or minus Fentanyl 1-2 micrograms/kg 2. Suxamethonium 2 mg/kg

? FLUID REFRACTORY SHOCK Consult PICU for ongoing management and admission to PICU

Give further 20ml/kg (3rd bolus) while assessing and starting treatment for refractory shock

Inotrope Infusion Commence Dopamine infusion as 1st line. Starting dose 5 – 10 mcg/kg/min Adrenaline may be required if shock continues to worsen or is severe. Consider Noradrenaline centrally for warm shock. Use PICU drug chart for dose and how to make up found on intranet or pre-printed off in file in resus. room. Obtain central access if possible

(IO needle counts as central.)

D/W PICU to consider need for

HDU

No

Note Prior to intubating hypotensive patient – ideally have inotrope infusion running and dose being escalated as per direction from PICU. Also have next fluid bolus primed and ready to give.

Consider possibility of heart failure. Look for: Hepatomegaly Cardiomegaly (CXR)

Baseline Assessment

Assessment After 20ml/kg

Stepwise approach to the patient on PICU Index

Consider risk of adrenal insufficiency?• severe shock with Purpura • current or recent steroid treatment • known/possible adrenal/pituitary abnormalities

Yes No

InotropesEstablish central venous access and

arterial line Begin dopamine 5-10micrograms/kg/min

Regularly Reassess and treat:• ABC, Fluid Volume Status (may need >100ml/kg), Electrolyte Disturbances (esp iCa2+ and K+) • Aim for adequate BP and high-normal CVP • Request Echocardiogram to assess cardiac contractility

Fluid and Inotrope Refractory Shock (requiring >10mcg/kg/min Dopamine)

What type of shock?

Cold Shock (SvO2 < 70%)

o Reduced function with BP OK o Milrinone/Sodium Nitroprusside

with volume

Cold Shock (SvO2 < 70%)o Reduced function & BP o Adren aline with volume

Warm shock (SvO2 > 70%) o Vasodilated but function OK o Noradrenaline with volume

Draw baseline Cortisol level, then give stat IV Hydrocortisone:

• 0-1 yrs 25mg • 1-5 yrs 50mg • > 5yrs 100mg

Continue on Hydrocortisone 1-2 mg/kg/tds

General Considerations Indexo Goal-directed approach. This has been shown to reduce mortality in adult sepsis. Central venous Pressure

(CVP) should be kept 8-12 mmHg although this will be lower when measured through a femoral catheter. If < 8 mmHg give further colloid boluses, especially if evidence of impaired RV function in a child who is ventilated. Mixed venous saturations (SvO2) should ideally be measured in the right atrium. Normal is > 70%.

o Ventilation. It should be assumed that all patients with sepsis have an Acute Lung Injury and therefore be ventilated with a standard protective ventilatory strategy from the outset.

o Inotrope strategy. Although the above flow diagram describes a 3 model picture, it must be realised that haemodynamic states in children with sepsis may change over time. Constant vigilance and assessment with echo/transoesophageal Doppler is useful. A Cardiac Index (CI) of > 3.3 l/min should be aimed for.

o Steroids. Routine use of steroids should await the result of further randomised controlled trials. STEPS (steroids in sepsis) study due to start early 2008. Adrenal insufficiency in the case of cathecholamine resistant shock is assumed at a random total cortisol concentration < 18 mg/dl (500nmol/L). If AI suspected continue steroids for 5 days, and then wean over 2 days before consideration to stopping. If high level of suspicion re Adrenal Insufficiency, suggest contact endocrinology team relating to need for convalescent synacthen test.

o Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF). Consider in children with neutropenic sepsis secondary to chemotherapy and/or primary WBC immunodeficiency.

o Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG). Consider in patients with Toxic Shock Syndrome and in neonatal septic shock. Dose 1 g/kg/day for 3 days.

o Activated Protein C. No evidence.

o Antibiotic policy. See separate antibiotic guidelines. Remember use of Linezolid/Vancomycin in suspected PVL staphylococcal sepsis. NOTE: one may see

PVL +ve MRSA AND MSSA strains Clindamycin in Toxic Shock Syndrome Vancomycin or Teicoplanin if suspected MRSA sepsis

o Feed. As early as possible…using the enteral route by whatever means that are possible (i.e. early NJ tube placement if necessary)

o Renal replacement Therapy (RRT). CVVH useful in children with anuria/severe oliguria and fluid overload. If started consider using high-volume turnover. Consider peritoneal dialysis if concerns about Abdominal Compartment Syndrome.

o Sedation/Muscle relaxants. Aim for sedation alone, or intermittent pancuronium in context of LCOS and if permits patient-ventilator synchrony

Investigations for underlying immune-deficient / dysregulatory state Index 1. Stored serum for DNA studies as part of Community Acquired Infection study. This study applies to any child

admitted to PIC with a severe community-acquired infection. The PIC team are not expected to take the blood tests. Contact Natalie or Sheila in MCRN office ext 0211 and 0216; work mobile 07768817944 and 07768824276 respectively)

2. Children with recurrent or severe bacterial or fungal illness, bronchiectasis or chronic ENT problems may

have an underlying immune deficiency. However, there is no role for routine tests in children with sepsis syndrome, unless such features are present. Lymphocyte subsets, immunoglobulins, and neutrophil function tests might be considered in the convalescent phase but this should be discussed at the Thursday microbiology round.

3. Similarly, some patients with a Haemophagocytic disorder may present with multi-organ dysfunction

syndrome that may mimic severe sepsis. Consider in children who have a history of: • Multiple infections requiring antibiotics • Problems with warts/herpes virus • Prolonged ‘recovery’ following trivial infection • Atypical neonatal problems

Additionally, consider in children in whom routine investigations demonstrate: • Abnormalities of MCV (raised indicating bone marrow failure, reduced indicating gut pathology & iron

malabsorption) • Pancytopenia, and/or DIC out of proportion with the degree of Multi Organ Dysfunction Syndrome

Author(s): J. Fraser, E. Crowne, Page 3/4 A. Finn, C. Steward A. Ramanan

Division of Women’s and Children’s Services Local Practice Guidelines

Tests to be undertaken: • Serum ferritin • Fasting triglycerides • Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) • Ebstein Barr Virus (EBV) & Cytomegalovirus (CMV) PCR (esp when hepatosplenomegaly present ) (1 ml serum sample in a yellow-topped bottle sent to biochemistry is required for ferritin, TG and LDH tests; a separate 1 ml yellow-topped bottle to virology is required for PCR studies)

Peri/Post mortem investigations in children dying of overwhelming sepsis Index

1. Peripheral blood for lymphocyte subsets and neutrophil function tests (looking for evidence of chronic granulomatous disease)

(1 ml EDTA sample in a red-topped bottle is required for LSs; a 1 ml heparin sample in an orange-topped bottle is required for NFTs. Please discuss with immunology lab, Southmead, before sending; on-call via NBT switchboard out of hours)

2. Request pathologist to look for:

• Anatomical clues of immunodeficiency e.g. small/absent spleen, presence of large numbers of lymph

glands, total absence of lymphoid tissue

• Evidence of haemophagocytosis in the spleen, liver, lymph node and marrow
