Risk factors and Compliance of surviving sepsis campaign: A retrospective cohort study at tertiary care hospital

Abstract

Background and Objective: Sepsis is one of the leading causes of direct maternal mortality in Pakistan. It is recommended that the first three hours after the presentation are crucial. During this time implementation of surviving sepsis campaign resuscitation bundles reduces maternal mortality. Our objective was to assess the factors contributing to puerperal sepsis and the compliance of “surviving sepsis campaign resuscitation bundles in puerperal sepsis” for the management of puerperal sepsis.
 Methods: This was a retrospective record review for five years from January 2011-December 2015. All women who fulfilled the inclusion criteria of puerperal sepsis were included and data from their files were collected and entered in SPSS version 19.0. Mean and standard deviations were calculated for continuous variables while for categorical variable proportion and percentages were used.
 Results: This retrospective record review in five years showed the 396 patients had P-sepsis, among them 44 patients had severe sepsis with organ dysfunction. The culture was positive in 26(59%) with trend of E-coli in 9(20%) Among them 12(27%) had serum lactate more than ≥4mmol/L. Central venous pressure monitoring with fluid resuscitation was done as per protocol of survival bundle given to all 12(100%), Vasopressin was needed in half of these patients 6(50%). Amid 44 patients of severe sepsis 29(66%) were admitted to special care, while 15(34%) required intensive care admissions. Our 7(16%) patients failed to survive. All of them had multi-organ failure.
 Conclusion: There was moderate adherence of modified surviving sepsis campaign resuscitation bundles. Further improvement in compliance is warranted.

Impact of premorbid use of beta‑blockers on survival outcomes of patients with sepsis: A systematic review and meta‑analysis

“…Data from China demonstrated that in 2022 alone, a total of 25.5% of intensive care unit (ICU) patients were diagnosed with sepsis and in ~13% of these cases sepsis progressed to septic shock that is associated with severe circulatory, cellular, coagulation and metabolic abnormalities that lead to higher risk of mortality compared with uncomplicated sepsis (4). Diagnosis of sepsis is difficult due to the lack of signs and symptoms and absence of any gold standard test (1,2). It is considered a major public health concern, with high morbidity and mortality, and a heavy economic burden on the healthcare system (5)(6)(7).…”

“…Sepsis is a complex syndrome caused by pathophysiological and biochemical dysregulation triggered by autogenous factors in response to bacterial, viral, parasitic or fungal infections ( 1 , 2 ). According to the 1997-2017 Global Burden of Disease Study, there were 48.9 million sepsis cases and ~11 million sepsis-related deaths in the past two decades ( 3 ).…”
