Hi Tracey, the common theme in regards to these types of patients is that we can treat CHF & ARF...it is the sepsis that can cause irreversible harm...hope this helps. Respectfully,
Lea Ann Kellum, MSN, RN, CCRN, CEN Clinical Educator, Critical Care Department of Clinical Education and Research Kennedy University Hospital Cherry Hill Campus Office 856-488-6790 Cell 856-298-8785 Email: [email protected] From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tracey Helmick Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2013 2:41 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [Sepsis Groups] fluid resuscitation in CHF or renal patients Our institution continues to monitor and assess our Sepsis patient data. We are having difficulty meeting the new 30ml/kg recommendations for fluid resuscitation. We are finding that some of our outliers are the patients with CHF or renal failure. Is this a common barrier and if so, what are other institutions doing to assure those patients are receiving adequate fluid resuscitation without causing harm to the patient? Should we omit those patients from our data collection?
