This month, we’ll be talking Updates and Controversies in the Early Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock. We have a special episode for you this month… We’ve brought Dr. Jeremy Rose, one of the peer reviewers, and a sepsis expert, on with us to talk through the content this month. Jeff : Sepsis chair.

ACS and STEMI generally do not cause tachycardia unless there is cardiogenic shock. Then ACS (STEMI) might be primary; this might be cardiogenic shock.

Often AE-ILD is idiopathic, but treatable causes must be excluded (PNA, PE, volume overload) Treatment for AE-ILD should include antibiotics for CAP coverage (specifically including azithromycin), steroids, and respiratory support; consider opportunistic infection if immunosuppressed as well as diuresis as needed for euvolemia HFNC should be favored (..)

The ATHOS-3 trial in 2017 explored the efficacy of angiotensin II as a vasopressor for severe vasodilatory shock. Severe shock is defined as persistent hypotension requiring vasopressors to maintain a mean arterial pressure of 65mmHg and serum lactate <2 despite adequate volume resuscitation. were more likely to respond.

In addition, the patient received 750 mL of fluid resuscitation with transient improvement of blood pressure. Authors' commentary: Cardiogenic shock in the setting of severe aortic stenosis. Fundamentally, cardiogenic shock is an issue of decreased cardiac output. If you can use Doppler, then you can diagnose it.

Septic sheep randomized to early, rapid volume resuscitation had greater vasopressor requirements 12 hours after initial fluid bolus.
