Hi - if there is only one hypotensive BP in a 6hr window prior to or after TOP, 
then you don't have initial hypotension. There needs to be 2 hypotensive BP's 
in that window, and they need to be within 3 hrs of each other (don't need to 
be consecutive). The time of the qualifying 2nd BP would be the time of initial 
hypotension.  In this scenario,  if you only have 1 low BP, it would be organ 
dysfunction criteria but not initial hypotension. Hope this helps -
Pam

Subject: [External] [Sepsis Groups] Fluid resuscitation prior to time zero


Warning:  This email originated from the Internet!

Good Evening,
Can someone please explain why we are held accountable to give 30 ml/kg for 
hypotension prior to time zero?

Time zero: 0954 (0420: RR 22, 0435 Temp 35.0; 0420 SBP 87; 0954 H&P: possible 
sepsis).
The patient received 500 ml boluses X4: at 0430, 0929, 1154 & 1210. Pt weighed 
53 kg/required 1530 ml.

The miss is: we did not give 30 ml/kg within 3 hours of initial hypotension 
(0420). Do you all give 30 ml/kg for all hypotension, even if the provider does 
not think sepsis is the cause for the hypotension? In this case we gave more 
than enough fluid within 3 hours of time zero, but obviously still missed.

Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Molly
