[Sepsis Groups] sepsis committee structure

2016-01-12 Thread Amy Lucas
Hi Everyone,

Would you mind sharing the structure of your sepsis committee? I'm looking
for who chairs, where does it report to, membership, and for those who are
part of a multi-hospital system, how does it fit into the system as a
whole.

Thanks!

Subject: [Sepsis Groups] Passive leg raise
Message-ID: 
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I have a question regarding the passive leg raise.  The question reads :  "Was 
a passive leg raise examination performed by a physician/APN/PA in the time 
window beginning at the crystalloid fluid administration date and time and 
ending six hours after the presentation of septic shock?" Can a non-invasive 
bio-reactance type of monitor be used by a nurse to assess fluid 
responsiveness, or does it specifically have to be a physician/NP/ or PA that 
performs the test?  I have heard that other facilities are using  a protocol 
for nurses to follow when performing the passive leg raise and am wondering if 
anyone had heard if it is OK to do this?
