(A) treatment
1. The basis of therapy and symptomatic treatment of sepsis in patients with poor health, symptoms weight, condition must persist for some time, so antibiotic therapy in the application of effects at the same time, need to pay attention to add a variety of vitamins, energy mixture, and even a small amount of blood given to people on many occasions albumin (albumin), plasma or fresh whole blood to supplement the body’s consumption, the supply of energy, better nutrition, to support organ function, and promptly correct water and electrolyte disturbance, maintaining acid-base balance, maintaining a stable internal environment. There is shock, toxemia, toxic myocarditis, and other serious performance, can be step-up drugs, cardiac drugs and (or) short-term adrenal cortex hormones. Severe headache, high fever, irritability can be antipyretic and sedative. Need to strengthen care, attention to the prevention of secondary stomatitis, pneumonia, urinary tract infections and pressure sores and so on.
2. Antimicrobial therapy
(1) The application of the principles of antimicrobial agents:
① timely application of targeted antibacterial drugs is the key to treating sepsis. In the absence of access to the results of bacteriology and drug sensitivity of the situation, to gain time, the first choice medication virtue of clinical experience. After the return to be the result, and then combined with the clinical manifestations and pre-treatment response to be adjusted.
② right in critical condition who wish to select the two kinds of antimicrobial agents in combination (triple or quadruple the need for the application is not).
③ pathogens should be a right to kill, rather than temporary suppression, so antibiotics should be used in sufficient quantities, starting dose should be relatively large, sub-second intravenous drip to vote for, efficacy should long, usually more than 3 weeks, or in the normal body temperature , the symptoms disappeared, and then continue medication for several days. There migratory lesions, in addition to local treatment, systemic agents should also be extended in appropriate circumstances.
(2) the choice of antimicrobial agents:
① staphylococcal septicemia: Due to Staphylococcus aureus can produce β-lactamase strains reached about 90% of penicillin G and therefore their efficacy is poor, while the first third-generation cephalosporins inhibited to varying degrees of β-lactam The role of the enzyme to its sensitive strains of up to 90%, it is often used in Cephalothin, cefazolin, cefotaxime, cefoperazone / sulbactam and so on, can also be combined with Amikacin, Gentamicin Su, the first choice for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Vancomycin.
② Gram-negative bacilli sepsis: chloramphenicol, ampicillin. Is now widely resistant. Third-generation cephalosporins such bacteria has a strong antibacterial activity, sensitivity rate is normally greater than 90%, second-generation cephalosporins against Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae have antibacterial activity. Therefore, this type of sepsis from the second and third generation cephalosporins to choose one, can be combined with gentamicin or amikacin can also be combined with piperacillin.Application of Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis Cefixime ineffective in order to use cefoperazone, cefoperazone / sulbactam better. Or the use of drugs and aminoglycoside antibiotics Wu, efficacy Yehao. Ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin and other quinolones, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, including G-bacteria have strong antibacterial activity, and are subject to outside influence is small, with other types of antimicrobial agents was no cross-resistance, side effects light, are often clinical use.
③ anaerobic sepsis: Changcheng complex mixed bacterial infection, drug selection should be both facultative anaerobes or aerobes. The drugs are often used chloramphenicol, vancomycin, lincomycin, clindamycin, Carbenicillin, Ampicillin, pull oxygen cephalosporins, ceftizoxime, ceftriaxone, metronidazole, tinidazole, cyclopropane gatifloxacin and ofloxacin, etc..
④ fungal septicemia: 50 years of this century, with amphotericin B treatment of the disease, the drug’s anti-fungal effect is quite strong, but toxic side effects limit the use of. The antifungal drugs have emerged since the ball erythromycin, fluorocytosine, clotrimazole, or for narrow-spectrum anti-fungal, or because of renal toxicity and gastrointestinal reaction to apparent Guchang to two drugs in combination, natural effect is still not ideal, the patient adhere to a long course of treatment has also proved difficult. 80 years have occurred since the miconazole (Daktarin) is a synthetic 1 – phenylethyl imidazole derivatives, against Candida, Aspergillus, Cryptococcus is a new powerful antimicrobial, etc., do not have with other anti-fungal Wu drug use, intravenous, but also capsule, sheath, wound multi-channel delivery. Fluconazole (Diflucan) is a new triazole antifungal agent that can specifically and efficiently inhibit fungal sterol synthesis, and plasma protein binding rate of low-energy penetration to the body fluids, there are two kinds of intravenous and oral dosage forms. Although the two drugs on certain side effects, patients still capable to endure, in the custody of an important organ function under the conditions of application, is now wider. When the fungi and bacterial infections exist, the selection is extremely difficult drug to kill bacteria, fungi proliferation, inhibit the fungi, bacteria will disaster, garlic injection can simultaneously control the growth of fungi and bacteria, should use of, the only role of the more weak, severe infection usually does not work.
3. Other treatments
(1) To use antagonistic inflammatory mediators and oxygen free radical clearance of drugs such as anti-endotoxin monoclonal antibody, IL-1 receptor antagonist, de-glycosides deaminase inhibitors.
(2) topical treatment: The primary or migratory purulent lesions, when mature should be timely and incision and drainage. Purulent pericarditis, arthritis, liver abscess in the drainage of empyema after local injection of antimicrobial agents can be. To have obstruction of the biliary tract, urinary tract infection, you should consider blocking the lifting operation.
(3) the treatment of underlying diseases can not be ignored.
(B) the prognosis
Recent mortality of sepsis is about 30% ~ 40%. Prognostic factors: ① age: the elderly, infants and young children than the case fatality rate of children, youth, middle-aged patients with high. ② Does the hospital infection, nosocomial infection case-fatality rate 75% ~ 85%, infections outside the hospital case-fatality rate 43% ~ 56%, P <0.01, with hospital-acquired infections of multi-resistant strains of the department. ③ the types of pathogens. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and fungal septicemia in a high fatality rate. ④ the amount and severity of complications. ⑤ the basis of severity of the disease and so on.
