• Only 21 out of 4350 newborns had tachycardia (4.6/1000)

• 82 newborns underwent a sepsis evaluation and 13 had sepsis.

• 12/13 had tachycardia vs 6/69 without sepsis

2) Sepsis and septic shock respond to antibiotics, fluid resuscitation and inotropes in a time-sensitive manner

Biomarkers of MOFHLH / MAS syndromes

• 5 of 8 criteria; Ferritin > 500, sCD25 > 2500, decreased NK cell activity, Hemophagocytosis, Increased Triglycerides, Decreased Fibrinogen, Hepato or Splenomegaly, Cytopenia of two or more cell lines. sCD 163 > 10 is the most specific marker

• Macrophage Activation Syndrome – Rheumatological disease, rash, joint involvement , High C-reactive protein

• Hemophagocytic Lympho Histiocytosis Syndrome –Familial history, Low or mildly elevated C- reactive protein in the absence of sepsis, low or mildly elevated IL-1 (personal communication Dr. Schneider, Ulm)

Considerable overlap between diagnostic criteria for HLH and what has been reported in Sepsis / SIRS / MODS and in Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis associated MAS

Whole –body hypothermia for neonates with hypoxia-ischemic encephalopathy

Shankaran et al NEJM 2005 353(15)1574-84

Meropenem for ESBL

• Brilliant! Early use of proper antibiotic reduces mortality by 7% per hour!

• Crazy! We cannot be held to that standard. We can’t get antibiotics into our patients within the first hour. And we cant use broad spectrum coverage because that would induce resistance. These patients don’t die form infection anyway! They die form the host response

Hypothermia for Cardiac Arrest

• Brilliant! – reduces metabolism and ischemia reperfusion injury with minimal risk and preservation of brain function

• Crazy! – It does not work. At best it provides the world with vegetative state patients. At worse patients die because hypothermia reduces the ability to get rid of infection

Shankaran et al NEJM 2005 353(15)1574-84

Cooling, Epinephrine and Milrinone to restore ScvO2 to 70%

• Brilliant! – By delivering oxygen according to the needs of the patient one can prevent new cellular injury

• Crazy! – That doesn’t work because patients have cellular dysoxia no matter what you do with oxygen delivery. Besides we use femoral catheters not SVC catheters

Duration of hypotension before initiation of effective antimicrobial therapy is the critical determinant of survival in human septic shock

Kumar et al CCM 2006 34(6) 1589-1595

Intensive Plasma Exchange for Thrombocytopenia Associated MOF

• Brilliant – Patients with new onset thrombocytopenia, increased LDH, and MOF have complex thrombotic microangiopathy which respond to intensive plasma exchange in the same manner as TTP with resolution of organ failure .

• Crazy – This is a huge waste of resources with no proven benefit and a risk of blood borne pathogens. Besides I cannot get my plasmapheresis people to do it.

CRRT to ARF

• Brilliant – This technique allows continuous control of fluid balance. It helps resolve ARDS. I like it a lot. It is great for the purpose of keeping fluid overload per cent < 10%

• Crazy – This technique is no better than intermittent dialysis.

GM-CSF for Immune paralysis

• Brilliant! - Patients with Sepsis and MOF commonly develop immune paralysis 3 days after presentation. GM-CSF reverses immune paralysis and reduces the incidence of secondary infection

• Crazy – It doesn’t work in randomized trials in premature infants.

GM-CSF administered as prophylaxis for reduction of sepsis in extremely preterm SGA neonates :a single blind multi center randomized controlled trial Carr et al LANCET 2009 373:226-33

Erythropoietin for Anemia

• Brilliant! – Erythropoietin reduces transfusion increase hemoglobin without blood transfusion. Improves survival in Trauma patients in the ICU. Improves neurological function in ischemia models

• Crazy! – Erythropoietin tends towards increased mortality when used long term in chronic renal failure patients requiring dialysis.

D10% containing solution at maintenance and Insulin for Hyperglycemia

• Brilliant! The glucose requirements are met by giving D10% at maintenance fluid rate. Insulin for hyperglycemia reverses catabolism, decreases inflammation and improves outcome

• Crazy! Hypoglycemia occurs to frequently the risks outweigh the benefits. Glucose is bad for you. Insulin is dangerous for you. Our staff is not very good at monitoring glucose in patients on insulin infusions.

Meropenem for ESBL

• Brilliant! Early use of proper antibiotic reduces mortality by 7% per hour!

• Crazy! We cannot be held to that standard. We can’t get antibiotics into our patients within the first hour. And we cant use broad spectrum coverage because that would induce resistance. These patients don’t die form infection anyway! They die form the host response

Hypothermia for Cardiac Arrest

• Brilliant! – reduces metabolism and ischemia reperfusion injury with minimal risk and preservation of brain function

• Crazy! – It does not work. At best it provides the world with vegetative state patients. At worse patients die because hypothermia reduces the ability to get rid of infection

Cooling, Epinephrine and Milrinone to restore ScvO2 to 70%

• Brilliant! – By delivering oxygen according to the needs of the patient one can prevent new cellular injury

• Crazy! – That doesn’t work because patients have cellular dysoxia no matter what you do with oxygen delivery. Besides we use femoral catheters not SVC catheters

CRRT to ARF

• Brilliant – This technique allows continuous control of fluid balance. It helps resolve ARDS. I like it a lot. It is great for the purpose of keeping fluid overload per cent < 10%

• Crazy – This technique is no better than intermittent dialysis.

Intensity of Acute Renal Failure Support TrialNEJM 2008 359(1):7-20

GM-CSF for Immune paralysis

• Brilliant! - Patients with Sepsis and MOF commonly develop immune paralysis 3 days after presentation. GM-CSF reverses immune paralysis and reduces the incidence of secondary infection

• Crazy – It doesn’t work in randomized trials in premature infants.

Erythropoietin for Anemia

• Brilliant! – Erythropoietin reduces transfusion increase hemoglobin without blood transfusion. Improves survival in Trauma patients in the ICU. Improves neurological function in ischemia models

• Crazy! – Erythropoietin tends towards increased mortality when used long term in chronic renal failure patients requiring dialysis.

D10% containing solution at maintenance and Insulin for Hyperglycemia

• Brilliant! The glucose requirements are met by giving D10% at maintenance fluid rate. Insulin for hyperglycemia reverses catabolism, decreases inflammation and improves outcome

• Crazy! Hypoglycemia occurs to frequently the risks outweigh the benefits. Glucose is bad for you. Insulin is dangerous for you. Our staff is not very good at monitoring glucose in patients on insulin infusions.
