States.46 Statistics from the year 2000 showed grampositive bacteria were the cause of 52.1% of sepsis cases,
gram- negative bacteria accounted for 37.6%, polymicrobial infections for 4.7%, fungi for 4.7%, and anaerobes
for 1%.46 Globally, however, gram- negative organisms
continue to be predominant. A prevalence study of
ICU infections conducted in 2007 involved 1,265 ICUs
across 75 countries found that of patients considered to
be infected, 70% had positive blood cultures— 62% with
gram- negative organisms, 47% with gram- positive organisms, and 19% with fungi.49 Opportunistic fungal infections are emerging as the most rapidly growing cohort due
to a rise in the number of immunocompromised patients,
with Candida species being the most common opportunistic mycotic species worldwide.50 Candida infections
also carry a crude mortality rate ranging from 46% to 75%
as inclusion criteria for major clinical trials on sepsis47 (see
Table 11.1). Asecond consensus group revisited these denitions in 2001, but ultimately no changes were made.48

PRESENTATION
Early identication and recognition of sepsis and septic
shock is crucial in the implementation of goal- directed
therapy and improved patient outcomes. Due to the multiple etiologies of sepsis, clinical presentations can be variable and depend on the source of infection and pathogen
involved. Based on the criteria put forth by the North
American and European Consensus Committee in 2001,
diagnosis of sepsis can be made by clinical parameters and
laboratory values indicating infection and organ dysfunction (see Box 11.1).
48
A hallmark of septic shock is the systemic immune
response triggered by the invading pathogen, which
causes a cascade of hormonal, proinammatory, and

anti- inammatory mediators that ultimately leads to alterations in cellular metabolism, tissue hypoperfusion, and
organ dysfunction distant from the initial site of infection.
Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF- α), interleukin 6 (IL-6),
and IL- 1 are proinammatory cytokines that have been
implicated in the SIRS response and pathogenesis of multiorgan failure in septic shock.
55,56
Systemic infusions of
TNF- α and IL- 1 have been shown to reproduce symp-
toms of SIRS and septic shock in both human and animal
models. Furthermore, high or persistently elevated serum
levels of TNF- α, IL- 6, and IL- 1 were associated with sep-
tic shock, the development of multiorgan failure, higher
severity of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS),
and higher mortality rates.
57– 62
Studies also suggest that
TGF- β inhibits the inducible form of nitric oxide synthase
(iNOS), producing relatively high levels of nitric oxide
(NO) during acute infection, which is postulated to be a
mechanism of vasodilation and refractory hypotension in
septic shock.

shock.
Under normal circumstances endogenous vasoconstrictors such as angiotensin II and norepinephrine bind to
receptors on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and
cause the release of intracellular calcium and inux through
voltage- gated channels, resulting in depolarization of the
VSMC membrane, activation of the actin- myosin complex, and vasoconstriction.

and cellular bioenergetics that ultimately lead to tissue dysoxia and oxygendebt.
Renal Manifestations ofSepsis
More than 50% of patients with septic shock also have
acute renal failure, which carries an increased mortality rate
of 70% compared with 45% in patients with acute renal
failure alone.79 Systemic arterial vasodilation in sepsis and
septic shock causes activation of the renin- angiotensinaldosterone system (RAA) and local down- regulation of
iNOS that results in renal vasoconstriction and renal hypoperfusion.79 ere is also direct tissue injury from inammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species, inltration of

channels causes inhibition of voltage- gated calcium channels and vasodilation unresponsive to vasoconstrictors.71
During septic shock, various mediators including lactate,
nitric oxide, and decreased ATP concentrations activate
these potassium channels causing hyperpolarization of the
membrane and vasoplegia.
71,73
Another mechanism of vascular hyporesponsiveness
in septic shock is the depletion of circulating vasopressin. Refractory hypotension during circulatory shock,
including septic shock, activates the arterial baroreex (see
previous section), which leads to increased secretion of
vasopressin, norepinephrine, and angiotensin II through
autonomic regulation.74 Landry et al. demonstrated that
patients with septic shock have markedly lower levels of
plasma vasopressin compared to patients with cardiogenic
shock despite ongoing hypotension due to a impaired
baroreex- mediated secretion,75 and exogenous low dose
infusions of vasopressin had norepinephrine sparing eects
in severe septic shock.
76,77
Alarge, multicenter randomized
controlled trial comparing the mortality benet of vasopressin infusions to norepinephrine infusions in patients
with septic shock found no signicant dierence in 90- day
mortality, however the mortality in patients with less severe
shock was improved with the use of vasopressin.
78
Splanchnic Circulation and Liver Perfusion
Rates of liver failure and liver dysfunction in severe sepsis
range from 35% to 46% and 3% to 6%, respectively.
81,82
Aside from the liver’s metabolic role, it is actively involved
in the body’s innate immune response against pathogens.
Asignicant component of the liver is myeloid and lymphoid tissue housing the body’s largest reservoir of tissueresident macrophages known as Kuper cells (KCs).83
e KCs are involved in the clearance and scavenging of
endotoxin and bacteria from the portal circulation and are
responsible for a large part of the host response to infection.
In the setting of sepsis- induced liver dysfunction, there are
alterations in metabolic function promoting gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, transient increases in transaminase
activity, and increased bilirubin levels due to intrahepatic
cholestasis.
84,85
Pulmonary Manifestations ofSepsis
Sepsis is one of the most common etiologies of indirect
acute lung injury (ALI) and ARDS, with incidences as
high as 40%.86 Based on the American- European consensus conference on ARDS, ALI is distinguished from ARDS

(PaO2/ FIO2 ≤ 100mmHg).88 Mortality rates for ARDS
have decreased over the last two decades and range between
30% and 60%, with most deaths caused by sepsis rather than
respiratory failure.
89– 91
e pathogenesis of ALI is attributed to loss of the alveolar- capillary barrier integrity due
to endothelial and epithelial injury. Increased permeability
causes an inux of protein- rich uid and inammatory cells
into airspaces disrupting the normal alveolar infrastructure and promoting the formation of hyaline membranes
and brin deposition.92 Inammatory cytokines including
TNF- α, IL- 1, IL- 6, and IL- 8 are found in the serum and
bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) uid of ARDS patients and
are thought to be involved in the up- regulation of adhesion
molecules promoting inux of erythrocytes and inammatory cells into the alveolar space across the disrupted
epithelial- endothelial barrier.

and found that initial mean cardiac indices and heart rate

lactate concentration and procalcitonin. e importance of
measuring arterial lactate concentration in sepsis is discussed
in the section “Evaluation of Perfusion.” Procalcitonin is a

to dierentiate sepsis from other noninfectious causes of

Currently recommendations do
not include procalcitonin in diagnostic criteria for sepsis,
though it may be a helpful marker in conjunction with
other serum markers.
TREATMENT
e treatment of sepsis is outlined in the Surviving
Sepsis Campaign (SCC) International Guidelines for
Management of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock. It centers
1. Protocolized, quantitative resuscitation of patients with
sepsis- induced tissue hypoperfusion (dened in this
document as hypotension persisting after initial uid
challenge or blood lactate concentration ≥ 4mmol/ L).
Goals during the rst 6 hours of resuscitation:
a) Central venous pressure 8– 12mmHg
b) Mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥ 65mmHg
c) Urine output ≥ 0.5 mL/ kg/ hr
d) Central venous (superior vena cava) or mixed venous
oxygen saturation 70% or 65%, respectively (grade1C).

care bundles is associated with improved survival and more
timely and appropriate antibiotic administration, though it
cannot be determined whether this is due to an increased
awareness of sepsis or due to specic recommendations
within the bundle.
126,127
Early administration of antimicrobials within the rst hour of documented hypotension in
septic patients improves survival, and every hour of delay
is associated with an increase in mortality.

ere are caveats to these guidelines, as some of these
recommendations are controversial and in contrast to wellestablished evidence. Current guidelines recommend an
aggressive uid challenge of at least 30 mL/ kg of crystalloid
to aim for the following targets:a CVP of 8– 12mmHg, a
mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥ 65 mmHg, urine output
≥ 0.5 mL/ kg/ hr, mixed venous oxygen saturation (MVO2)
of 65% or superior vena cava oxygen saturation (ScVO2) of
70% and normalization of serum lactate.
a guideline for adequate uid resuscitation is problematic,
125
Use of CVP as
as it correlates poorly with patient volume status (see section “Evaluation of Perfusion”). Additionally, ScVO2 is a
controversial indicator of tissue perfusion, ScVO2 does not
necessarily correlate with MVO2 and cardiac output, and in
shock ScVO2 can be consistently higher than MVO2.
130,131
Overresuscitation is also problematic, and careful attention
to uid overload is required, as higher positive uid balance
and CVPs were associated with increased mortality rates in
patients with septic shock, ALI, and renal failure.
18,132,133
Despite the limitations, there are currently no good
alternatives to the SCC guidelines. Studies in the last
15–20years of direct pharmacological interventions that
aim to treat sepsis have been disappointing (steroids, activated protein C, TNF- α, dichloracetate) and their routine
use is discouraged. Newer adjunctive therapies that are not
part of the SCC guidelines may warrant further extensive
investigation and include the following.
Beta Blockade
Beta blockade is thought to exert various eects on immunologic, metabolic, and cardiac alterations in septic shock,
though evidence of mortality benet from prospective
trials is lacking. A retrospective study by Macchia et al.
showed a lower 28- day mortality rate in septic patients previously on chronic beta- blocker therapy, 17.7%, compared
with those untreated, 22.1%.
134
Further randomized studies
are required before its routine use is to be recommended.
MethyleneBlue
Methylene blue is a chemical dye that inhibits iNOS and the
eector enzyme of NO, guanylate cyclase, both important
mediators of refractory vasodilation in sepsis. Small, randomized prospective clinical trials of methylene blue infusions in patients with septic shock demonstrated improved
mean arterial blood pressure and reduced vasopressor

2. Against the use of hydroxyethyl starches for uid resuscitation of severe sepsis and septic shock (grade1B).
3. Albumin in the uid resuscitation of severe sepsis and septic shock when patients require substantial amounts of
crystalloids (grade2C).
4. Initial uid challenge in patients with sepsis- induced tissue hypoperfusion with suspicion of hypovolemia to achieve a
minimum of 30 mL/ kg of crystalloids (a portion of this may be albumin equivalent). More rapid administration and greater
amounts of uid may be needed in some patients (grade1C).
5. Fluid challenge technique be applied wherein uid administration is continued as long as there is hemodynamic improvement
either based on dynamic (e.g., change in pulse pressure, stroke volume variation) or static (e.g., arterial pressure, heart rate)
variables(UG).
H. Vasopressors
1. Vasopressor therapy initially to target a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 65mmHg (grade1C).
2. Norepinephrine as the rst- choice vasopressor (grade1B).
3. Epinephrine (added to and potentially substituted for norepinephrine) when an additional agent is needed to maintain
adequate blood pressure (grade2B).
4. Vasopressin 0.03 units/ minute can be added to norepinephrine with intent of either raising MAP or decreasing
norepinephrine dosage(UG).
5. Low- dose vasopressin is not recommended as the single initial vasopressor for treatment of sepsis- induced hypotension, and
vasopressin doses higher than 0.03– 0.04 units/ minute should be reserved for salvage therapy (failure to achieve adequate
MAP with other vasopressor agents)(UG).
6. Dopamine as an alternative vasopressor agent to norepinephrine only in highly selected patients (e.g., patients with low risk
of tachyarrhythmias and absolute or relative bradycardia) (grade2C).
7. Phenylephrine is not recommended in the treatment of septic shock except in circumstances where (a)norepinephrine is
associated with serious arrhythmias, (b)cardiac output is known to be high and blood pressure persistently low, or (c)as
salvage therapy when combined inotrope/ vasopressor drugs and low- dose vasopressin have failed to achieve MAP target
(grade1C).
8. Low- dose dopamine should not be used for renal protection (grade1A).
9. All patients requiring vasopressors have an arterial catheter placed as soon as practical if resources are available(UG).
I. Inotropic Therapy
1. Atrial of dobutamine infusion up to 20 micrograms/ kg/ min may be administered or added to vasopressor (if in use) in
the presence of (a)myocardial dysfunction as suggested by elevated cardiac lling pressures and low cardiac output, or

is dened as a slowly progressive deterioration of renal function (increase of serum creatinine to more than 1.5 mg/ dL)
despite diuretic withdrawal and uid administration in the
absence of nephrotoxic insults. Usually, HRS type 2 is seen
as a natural progression of hepatic cirrhosis and ascites and
may be amenable to treatment with vasopressin or vasopressin analogues. Hepatorenal syndrome type 1 is dened as
a rapidly progressive deterioration of renal function (doubling of serum creatinine within 2 weeks) usually in conjunction with acute on chronic liver failure. ere is oen a
precipitating event such as surgery or infection that leads to
a rapid collapse of renal and hepatic function. e average
survival of patients with HRS type 1 is months compared
with 6months in patients with HRS type2.

156
Low endogenous vasopressin levels are likely due to depletion of pituitary vasopressin stores and may cause further deterioration
of vasomotor tone. Cirrhotic patients with low endogenous
vasopressin levels were exquisitely sensitive and responded
with an increase of blood pressure when receiving low dose
exogenous vasopressin. Exogenous vasopressin administration results in decreases of portal venous pressure and ow,
a consequence of splanchnic vasoconstriction, which is considered benecial in cirrhosis. Vasopressin and vasopressin
analogues such as ornipressin or terlipressin have been used
to treat hepatorenal syndrome in conjunction with albumin administration and diuretic withdrawal.

Distributive shock that is commonly experienced aer cardiopulmonary bypass or liver reperfusion.
POSTCARDIOTOMY VASOPLEGIA
Postreperfusion syndrome during cardiac surgery is dened
as profound loss of vascular tone and hypotension aer separation from cardiopulmonary bypass. It has been reported
to occur in up to 22% of all cardiac surgeries.

of this profound vasoplegia is thought to be an inammatory reaction caused by exposure to foreign surfaces, heparin anticoagulation and surgical trauma among others. As
a result, cytokines levels are increased.

hyperpolarization of the endovascular membrane through
the activation of inducible NO synthase and ATP- dependent potassium channels.
163
Multiple studies found that preoperative use of reninangiotensin- aldosterone system antagonists

161
) increases the risk. However this
160,161,164
does not necessarily translate into poor outcomes, and interestingly, studies have suggested that the preoperative use of ACEIs reduces the risk of acute kidney injury
ischemia.
166
Other risk factors for cardioplegia aer cardiopul-
165
and myocardial
monary bypass include low le ventricular ejection fraction,
prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass, and hypothermia.
Similar to other causes of vasoplegia, hypotension aer
cardiopulmonary bypass is oen catecholamine resistant and
vasopressin or its analogues
167
are eective in reversing the
vasodilatory state. One of the rst descriptions of vasopressin use for treatment of vasoplegia was in patients undergoing implantation of ventricular assist devices who developed
profound postcardiotomy shock.
168
In this randomized trial,
vasopressin increased MAP and decreased norepinephrine
dose. e vasoconstrictor eect was more pronounced in
patients with low endogenous vasopressin levels, evidence
that vasoplegia aer cardiopulmonary bypass is at least in
part due to inadequately low endogenous vasopressin levels.
ese ndings were conrmed in a larger trial of vasopressin
use in patients undergoing general cardiac surgery.
Methylene blue has also been used to treat postcardiotomy shock in addition to catecholamines. Methylene blue
inhibits guanylate cyclase and therefore counteracts NO-
157
induced vasodilation. Guanylate cyclase is also directly activated by IL- 1
170
and free radicals,
171
and methylene blue could
oset vasodilation mediated by these inammatory products.

BOX 11.4 CLINICAL CRITERIA FORDIAGNOSING
ANAPHYLAXIS
Anaphylaxis is highly likely when any one of the following
three criteria are fullled:
1. Acute onset of an illness (minutes to several hours)
with involvement of the skin, mucosal tissue, or both
(e.g., generalized hives, pruritus or ushing, swollen lips-
tongue- uvula) and at least one of the following:
a. Respiratory compromise (e.g., dyspnea, wheeze-
bronchospasm, stridor, reduced PEF, hypoxemia)
b. Reduced BP or associated symptoms of end- organ
dysfunction (e.g., hypotonia [collapse], syncope,
incontinence)
2. Two or more of the following that occur rapidly after
exposure to a likely allergen for that patient (minutes to
several hours):
a. Involvement of the skin- mucosal tissue (e.g.,
generalized hives, itch- ush, swollen lips- tongue- uvula)
sion syndrome but have not been tested in well- done trials.
b. Respiratory compromise (e.g., dyspnea, wheeze-
bronchospasm, stridor, reduced PEF, hypoxemia)
ANAPHYLAXIS
Anaphylaxis is an acute immunological reaction that causes
release of mediators from mast cells resulting in profound
vasodilation. While rare, anaphylactic shock can be fatal
in about 1% of cases
185
by causing profound multiorgan
failure.In the United States, anaphylaxis causes about 0.5
deathsper million.
186
Most commonly, anaphylaxis is dened
as an immunoglobulin E (IgE)– mediated reaction, however
nonimmunological responses can cause a massive release of
mediators by mast cells and basophils as well. Classically,
c. Reduced BP or associated symptoms (eg., hypotonia
[collapse], syncope, incontinence)
d. Persistent gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., crampy
abdominal pain, vomiting)
3. Reduced BP after exposure to known allergen for that
patient (minutes to several hours):
a. Infants and children:low systolic BP (age specic) or
greater than 30% decrease in systolicBP*
b. Adults:systolic BP of less than 90mmHg or greater
than 30% decrease from that person’s baseline
anaphylaxis occurs when antigens interact with specic IgE
that is bound to mast cells and basophils. Previous exposure
to the antigen is necessary to form specic IgE receptors that
are bound to either mast cells or basophils. Repeated contact of the antigen with IgE can lead to degranulation of the
cells mediated by high- anity IgE receptors (FcεRI, or Fc
epsilon RI). A massive release of histamine, proteoglycans,
PEF, peak expiratory ow; BP, blood pressure.
*Low systolic blood pressure for children is dened as less than 70mmHg from
1month to 1year, less than (70mmHg + [2 x age]) from 1 to 10years, and less
than 90mmHg from 11 to 17years.

serotonin, and serine proteases will lead to the clinical picture of anaphylaxis. Systemic release of histamine will cause
profound vasodilation and ushing mediated by H1 receptors and tachycardia, pruritis, and bronchospasm mediated
by H2 receptors.
187
On average, anaphylaxis occurs about 5
to 30 minutes aer exposure to the antigen. e diagnosis
is clinical and can be based on the criteria dened by the

of anaphylaxis
188
(Box 11.4).
First response should be removal of the suspected
allergen, followed by administration of epinephrine either
intramuscularly or intravenously (in much lower doses) if
intravenous access is immediately available. Epinephrine
is the ideal rst- line agent, because the alpha- 1 agonistic
action will counteract the vasodilatory state and shock,

beta- 1 agonistic action will augment cardiac output, and
beta- 2 agonism will treat bronchoconstriction. Delay in
administering epinephrine has been recognized as contributing to the risk of death in anaphylactic shock.
189
patients who chronically take beta- blocking agents, epinephrine may cause hypotension. Glucagon can be given to
these patients to maintain vascular tone and cardiac output
independent of the sympathetic- adrenergic system.
190
In case of severe respiratory symptoms (stridor or
respiratory arrest) the patient should be tracheally intubated without delay, as increasing upper airway edema may
impede an easy intubation at a later time. Generous intravenous uid administration will aid in maintaining adequate
blood pressure and perfusion.
Antihistamines such as diphenhydramine can be
administered, but this should not delay administration of
epinephrine. ese may relieve hives and itching but do
not treat the life- threatening symptoms of anaphylaxis.
Glucocorticoids should be administered as an adjunct to
epinephrine, but it will take hours before their onset. ere
has been a lack of evidence that glucocorticoids aect outcome in anaphylactic shock, and they should not replace or
delay the administration of epinephrine.
192
Concomitant with the treatment, a blood sample should
be obtained to determine serum tryptase levels and conrm
the diagnosis of anaphylaxis. Tryptase is released from mast
cells during anaphylaxis and has a longer plasma half- life
(approximately 2 hours
193
) than histamine (approximately
10 minutes).
e prognosis is usually good as long as epinephrine
is rapidly administered. Aer recovery, the identity of the
triggering agent should be conrmed and patients should
be educated on how to avoid the agent and how to selfadminister epinephrine in case of a recurrence.

at about 6.3 in 100 patient years.
194
It can also occur in
patients with primary adrenal insuciency even if they
In
receive glucocorticoid replacement if the mineralocorticoid
requirements are not met.
195
Patients present with shock, fever, nausea and vomiting,
and acute abdominal pain. Because infection and trauma can
be precipitating factors and the symptoms are nonspecic
and oen similar to those seen with septic shock, patients
with Addisonian crisis are oen misdiagnosed. e delay
in diagnosing Addisonian crisis signicantly contributes to
the mortality in patients with adrenal insuciency.
Specic ndings on physical exam (for example hyperpigmented skin due to chronic adrenocorticotropic hormone [ACTH] hypersecretion) may hint at the presence
of decompensated chronic primary adrenal insuciency.
Secondary adrenal insuciency (a rare cause of Addisonian
191
crisis) will however cause pale skin due to low levels of
ACTH. Treatment should not be delayed until specic
laboratory tests such as serum cortisol levels and ACTH
stimulation test are completed, especially if the patient
is hemodynamically unstable. If Addisonian crisis is suspected, treatment should consist of 100 mg intravenous
hydrocortisone, followed by 400– 500 mg during the rst
24 hours, in addition to supportive therapy (aggressive
uid administration, electrolyte and glucose control, and
other critical care interventions).
197
In patients without a
diagnosis of primary adrenal insuciency 4 mg of intravenous dexamethasone can be given, because it does not
interfere with the serum cortisol assay.
198
If diagnosed and
treated rapidly, the prognosis of Addisonian crisis is good
but also depends on the precipitating trigger. Most studies found that patients with chronic adrenal insuciency
can have a normal quality of life and life expectancy, if they
196
receive adequate hormonal replacement. However a recent

population- based study in Sweden reported a mortality rate
more than twice as high in patients with Addison disease
as compared with the general population. e excess mor-

of (frequently undiagnosed) primary adrenal insuciency.
Other less frequent causes of Addisonian crisis are bilateral
adrenal infarction or patients with primary or secondary
adrenal insuciency who abruptly withdraw from steroids (Figure 11.3). Commonly, stress, acute infections, or
trauma may cause an exacerbation of adrenal insuciency,
resulting in complete failure of the glands to produce adrenal mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, androgens, and
catecholamines. Acute Addisonian crisis is rare, but almost
50% of patients with primary adrenal insuciency report
