Study Notes
Clinical Management
- Give Oxygen. Try to maintain SpO2 ≥94%.
- Take blood cultures.
- Give broad spectrum IV antibiotics.
- Establish a fluid challenge (500 ml of Saline), over ≤15 min.
- Measure the lactate, how much acidotic?
- Monitor the urine output.
Antibiotic Crystalloids
- Cefotaxime 500 ml of Saline
Role of the ODP
- The role of the ODP is to recognise the sepsis, to perform an A-E assessment, to raise concerns, to support the anaesthetist, work appropriately within a multi-disciplinary team.
