cells. Cellular necrosis and damage associated molecular patterns
(DAMPs) may also be recognized and result in amplification or may
substitute for PAMP response, in part explaining the similar mediator
profile in noninfectious etiologies of SIRS.
TLR-4 signaling results in a rapid transcriptional response through
NF-κB and other transcription factors. NF-κ B activation triggers a cascade
of mediators, including TNF-alpha. Experimentally, TNF-alpha infusion
recapitulates all the lethal features of sepsis. Downstream from TNF-alpha,
endotoxin related signaling involves hundreds of interrelated mediators.

The signaling through TLRs is rapid, complex, and involves multiple interwoven pathways for inflammation, metabolic pathways, and prothrombotic
pathways. The clinical observation that inflammation triggers thrombogenicity has been understood within the context of an evolutionary connection
between trauma and infection, wherein survival depends upon simultaneous
hemostasis, restoration of immune barriers, and pathogen elimination.
3
Adequate host defense against bacterial and nonbacterial pathogens is
necessary for survival, and yet excess, systemic, dysregulated, or prolonged stimulation may result in the organ dysfunction that is seen in sepsis. Endotoxin induces its own counterregulation. Reflecting the complex
nature of cellular response to pathogen, patients with sepsis manifest
aspects of both proinflammatory and counterregulatory or compensatory
anti-inflammatory responses.
One way to think about cellular response to pathogens in sepsis is to
consider the endothelium a global “organ of injury,” in that vessel injury
and dysfunction contribute to gas exchange disturbance, hypotension,
microcirculatory disturbance, mitochondrial decoupling, and diffuse
organ damage. Thus, endothelial injury results in a disturbance in the
pathway for oxygen uptake, delivery, and consumption.
What Causes Shock in Sepsis
Shock is clinically defined as acute hypoperfusion that results in organ
dysfunction.
Several peptide and nonpeptide mediators of shock in sepsis have
been identified, and early mediators such as TNF-alpha and excess iNOS
may be amplified or substituted in their activity by late mediators such as
adrenomedullin and HMGB1.
Patients with severe sepsis and shock often have multiple disturbances in perfusion that contribute to overall presentation and impact
upon therapeutic decisions. In essence, three physiologic forms of shock
comingle in patients with sepsis with shock.
Preload deficit is often the most prominent feature at initial presentation of shock in patients with severe sepsis or sepsis with shock. Venous

return is a complex function of circulating blood volume, vasomotor tone,
and blood flow distribution.
4
Thus, preload deficiency is not equivalent to
hypovolemia, and all patients with signs of hypoperfusion require volume
resuscitation irrespective of total body volume status.
Cardiac dysfunction in severe sepsis is estimated to occur early in as
many as 25% of patients with severe sepsis and shock manifesting a low
cardiac index despite fluid resuscitation. However, even in the absence of
low output, many patients with sepsis will have myocyte dysfunction
detected by troponin leak and poor contractility often with tachycardia.
5
Vasodilatory shock with dysfunctional vasorelaxation and maldistribution of blood flow is accompanied by endothelial injury and capillary
leak that results in extravascular fluid redistribution, V/Q mismatch, and
ultimately in tissue dysoxia and mitochondrial dysfunction.
6
Table 2 outlines the three forms of shock in sepsis, pointing out the monitoring and
management principles for intervention based on this physiological
underpinning.
What Is the Cause of Microcirculatory Disturbance in Sepsis
Restoration of target levels of perfusion does not necessarily restore
microcirculatory disturbance in severe sepsis. Survival is associated with
restored microcirculatory flow, and the absence of restored capillary flow
is an independent marker of mortality in sepsis.
7
Several pathological
processes contribute to capillary dysfunction in sepsis, including
increased thrombogenicity, disturbances in adhesiveness, rheology, autonomic tone, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

therapy (EGDT), defined as a bundled care plan for the initial management of sepsis, has been widely adopted after a seminal publication by
Rivers et al. from a single center showing impressive mortality benefit,
though not all elements of the original description are universally
adopted.
Over the ensuing decade, it has become generally agreed that the
major advantage of bundled therapy is that a coordinated approach to sepsis improves implementation of therapy and provides a checklist to reduce
omissions.
8
The major caveat to universal acceptance of bundled therapy
is that the demonstrated benefit cannot be easily distinguished among constituent interventions, leaving open the possibility that some aspects are
counterproductive or ineffective.
The core elements of EGDT, accepted by most, is the implementation
of a system for early recognition and initiation of fluid resuscitation,
antibiotics, and source control. Far more contentious are the debates that
remain concerning resuscitation targets, monitoring tools, and adjunctive
therapies such as blood product and inotropic therapy.
In the setting of ongoing debate over the implementation of EGDT,
consensus statements such as the “Surviving Sepsis Campaign” provide
useful guidelines from expert panels that examine and grade evidence,
helping to demonstrate the data that support or limit evidence-based
practice including EGDT in sepsis (Tables 3 and 4). The reader should
be cautiously aware of the substantial debate among critical care
experts. The major caveat for expert panel recommendations is that
investigator bias and sponsorship may influence the interpretation of
weighted evidence.
9
No therapy bundle can be initiated until the patient is accurately recognized, so that a great deal of attention has recently been placed on sepsis prediction models that may enhance the process by which the early
signs are picked up early and improve the “time zero” for EGDT implementation. If validated and automated, such algorithmic approaches raise
the prospect of “pre-emptively” intervening with EGDT and may enhance
the opportunity for targeted therapy that is active against early mediators
of sepsis.

hydrocortisone is being used that lacks significant mineralocorticoid activity
Fludrocortisone if optional if hydrocortisone is used (2C)
• Steroid therapy may be weaned once vasopressors are no longer required (2D)
• Hydrocortisone dose should be ≤300 mg/day (1A)
• Do not use corticosteroids to treat sepsis in the absence of shock unless the patient’s
endocrine or corticosteroid history warrants it (1D)

Manifestations and Management of the Host/Pathogen/Physician Response
Key Intervention Principles
Aggressive fluid resuscitation combined with monitoring of preload
deficit resolution is a key component of EGDT. All patients with severe
sepsis or sepsis with shock should receive at least 25 ml/kg isotonic
crystalloid (e.g. plasmalyte) as a bolus over <1 hr. No convincing outcome advantage to colloid administration has been demonstrated. A
history of CHF, renal insufficiency, or other condition that predisposes
to accumulation of extravascular lung water should not preclude an
adequate fluid challenge in order to address acute hypoperfusion,
through careful monitoring of respiratory status, and support with
assisted ventilation offered for ventilatory compromise. Likewise,
static indirect measures of preload sufficiency such as CVP or LVEDV
do not predict accurately the response to fluid, and no perceived threshold value should preclude fluid challenge in patients who manifest
signs of hypoperfusion.
Early and effective antibiotic administration is a critical timesensitive component of EGDT. Delay in effective antibiotics is associated
with significant mortality.

After initial fluid resuscitation, patients who remain hypotensive
should have pressors initiated. Norepinephrine is presently recommended,
though vasopressin and dopamine are acceptable alternatives. Purported
benefits of primary therapy with vasopressin have not been validated,
though the addition of vasopressin infusion may allow a rapid decrease in
the required norepinephrine dose. Consensus guidelines recommend
avoiding unopposed or maximal alpha adrenergic agonists such as
phenylephrine and do not advocate the use of dopamine for renal
“protection.”

The use of inotropes to support cardiac contractility defects or to
target indirect signs of tissue dysoxia such as ScvO

is a poorly defined
element of EGDT, with limited data and poor clinical fidelity despite
attractive physiological rationale. A conservative recommendation is to
reserve dobutamine for patients with a cardiac index <2.5 L/min/m

despite adequate volume and pressor support.
