We evaluated the efficacy of protocol based We evaluated the efficacy of protocol based approach including the interventions approach including the interventions mentioned above (except APC) in the patients mentioned above (except APC) in the patients with severe sepsis admitted to our respiratory with severe sepsis admitted to our respiratory intensive care unit (RICU) in one year period.intensive care unit (RICU) in one year period.

Methods
Study design: Prospektive clinic study Place: Tertiary Teaching Hospital
10 bed medikal ICU Study period: 1 January 2006 – 31 December 2006 Patients: ARF patients with severe sepsis stayed
more than 24 h in ICU Evaluations: patients’ characteristic and nutrition,
cathetarization, mechanical ventilation were recorded.
6
MethodsPatients with severe pepsis:
SIRS:systemic inflamatuar response sendrome
1.Fever: < 36 or >38 C
2. Heart rate > 90/m
3.Respiratory rate >20 or PaCO2 <32mmHg
4.WBC: < 4000 or >12000 or 10% band
Severe Sepsis: Sepsis with organ disfunction (hypoperfusion, changed mental status, oliguria etc).
Sepsis Shock: Sepsis related hypotension refractory to fluid resusitation ( need vasopressor to gain optimal arterial tention)
7
Methods
Sepsis Protocols: Early Goal Directed Therapy: fluid resussitation (MAP>65mmHg) and emprical
antibiotics Low Tidal Volume: 6ml/kg Tight Glucose Control: Insulin infusion to obtain blood glucose equal 80-
140mg/L Moderate Dose Steroid: Methyl prednisolon 20mg 3 times daily for 7 days

ConclusionsConclusions
Mortality rates in severe sepsis Mortality rates in severe sepsis varied from 28% to 50% in the varied from 28% to 50% in the literature. literature.
In this study, we demonstrated In this study, we demonstrated that sepsis related mortality can be that sepsis related mortality can be decreased by using protocol based decreased by using protocol based management including EGDT, LVT, management including EGDT, LVT, TGC and MDS in such patients.TGC and MDS in such patients.
