There should be no reason to under-resuscitate or over-resuscitate with many 
technologies that are available now.  I like to stroke volume optimize these 
patients.  By assessing arterial pressure Cardiac Index and SV as we are giving 
a fluid bolus, if they have a 10% increase in those variables as we are giving 
fluid (checking every 15 minutes) then they are on the upswing of their 
Frank-Starling curve.  Once they quit responding we should most likely back 
down on the fluid.

When you have sepsis patients that have chronic renal failure how aggressive 
are you with volume resuscitation?

I count by discharge ICD9 code...so anyone with severe sepsis &/or septic shock 
get counted for that month upon discharge...separate stats for each code.

Hello fellow sepsis coordinators,
I am inquiring how everyone counts their sepsis mortality. I am curious if you 
count each patient chart or if you count by patient days? I currently only 
audit the critical care patients, however I am looking to expand to house wide. 
Any input would be appreciated-
Thanks,
CariAnn
