No, they do not exclude. I tell our house staff that the patient will die of Septic Shock WAY before they will die of fluid overload-so give the full recommended amount, keep them from dying from Septic Shock, and worry about taking the fluids off later!!! :)

McKinney, RN Clinical Quality Coordinator For Sepsis Clinical Documentation Specialist Rapid City Regional Hospital 605-719-4428 605-484-7381 [email protected] From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tracey Helmick Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2013 12:41 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?
