PICCs can be used for CVP monitoring if the lumen used is power-injectable and has no flow issues (no occlusions).

I would appreciate any information you may have and be willing to share!

We have defaulted to treat sepsis 'prior to' deterioration to severe sepsis, accepting that we might incur a modest overuse of antimicrobials.

We are trying to develop an algorithm and protocol for patients that screen positive for severe sepsis based on serum lactates, etc. Does anyone have a protocol and/or algorithm that they use for patients that screen positive on the floor for severe sepsis?
