Dr. Marwan Jabr Alwazzeh Assoc. Prof. of Medicine Consultant Internist/Infectious Diseases University of Dammam 02/04/2012 Why Fever In ICU? Key Problem Requires Thoughtful Evaluation and Treatment. Increasing health care costs. Exposes patients to sometimes unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures Inappropriate use of antibiotics that promoting emergence of resistant microbes. When we say “fever” in the ICU patient? Definition of fever is Arbitrary. Society of Critical Care Medicine and Infectious diseases society of America >38.3 °C (100.4°F). Lower threshold for surgery and immunocompromised patients >38.0 °C (100.4°F). Pathophysiology of Fever Significance of Fever Enhancing the resistance to infection Temperature elevation enhances immune function by: Increased antibody production Promoting T-cell activation Increased cytokine production Stimulates neutrophil and macrophage function Significance of Fever Beneficial effects of hot baths and malarial fevers in treating syphilis. In Gram negative bacteremia, a positive correlation between maximum temperature on the day of bacteremia and survival. Some pathogens such as Streptococcus pneumoniae are inhibited by febrile temperatures. Significance of Fever Most patients should not routinely receive empiric antipyretic medication. Acute hepatitis may occur in ICU patients with reduced glutathione reserves (alcoholics, malnourished, etc.) who have received regular therapeutic doses of acetaminophen. Aggressively treating fever in critically ill patients may lead to a higher mortality rate. Deleterious Effects Of Fever ↑↑ Cardiac Output ↑↑ Oxygen Consumption (approx 10%/°C) ↑↑ Carbon Dioxide Production ↑↑ Energy Expenditure Most accurate Pulmonary artery thermistor Urinary bladder catheter thermistor Esophageal probe Rectal probe Other acceptable methods in order of accuracy Oral probe Infrared ear thermometry Other methods less desirable Temporal artery thermometer Axillary thermometer Chemical dot Accuracy Accuracy of methods used for measuring temperature Recommendations for Measuring Temperature Axillary, temporal artery, and chemical dot thermometers should not be used in the ICU Rectal thermometers should be avoided in neutropenic patients Whatever device chosen should be used in a manner that does not facilitate spread of pathogens by the instrument or the operator Treating Fever per se Fever should be treated only in patients with: Acute brain insults. Limited cardiorespiratory reserve (ie, ischemic heart disease). Temperature increases above 40°C (104°F) Causes of fever in ICU Differential diagnosis influenced by patient population Medical vs. Surgical Immunocompromised vs. competent Community vs. Nosocomial Pediatric vs. Geriatric Causes of fever in ICU Main infectious Causes Intravascular Devices infection and septicemia Pulmonary Infections and ICU-Acquired Pneumonia. Urinary Tract Infections. Infectious Diarrhea. Sinus infections. Surgical Site Infections. Central Nervous System Infection. Fever In ICU Infectious causes Definitions Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) Sepsis Severe sepsis Septic shock Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome Tow or more of the following: Temperature ≥38 °C or ≤36 °C Heart rate ≥90 beats/min Respirations ≥20/min or arterial Carbone dioxide tension (PaCO2) < 32 mm Hg White blood cell count ≥12,000/mm3 or ≤4000/mm3 or >10% immature [band] forms Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome Often noninfectious etiology found: Pulmonary embolism Myocardial infarction Gastrointestinal bleeding Acute pancreatitis Cardiopulmonary bypass Sepsis SIRS with a presumed or confirmed infectious process Severe sepsis Sepsis with one or more signs of organ failure: Cardiovascular Renal Respiratory Hepatic Hematologic Central nervous system Metabolic acidosis Septic shock Sepsis-induced hypotension, despite adequate fluid resuscitation, with presence of perfusion abnormalities Infectious Causes Not all patients with infections are febrile. 10% of septic patients are Hypothermic. 35% are normothermic at presentation. Septic patients who fail to develop a temperature have a significantly higher mortality than febrile septic patients. Afebrile infected patients Elderly Open abdominal wounds. Large burns Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) CHF CRF or End-stage liver disease. Continuous renal replacement therapy Taking anti-inflammatory or antipyretic drugs How can I Diagnose Infection in absence of fever? Unexplained hypotension Tachycardia Tachypnea Confusion Rigors Skin lesions Respiratory manifestations Oliguria Lactic acidosis Leukocytosis Leukopenia Immature neutrophils (i.e., bands) of >10% Thrombocytopenia When should I be worried? Immunocopromized patient Hemodynamic instability Oliguria Increasing lactate Worsening conscious state Falling platelet counts Worsening coagulopathy. Intravascular Devices infection and septicemia Intravascular Devices infection and septicemia Intravascular Devices infection Localized infection Systemic infection Exit site infection Tunnel infection Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection Definition A positive catheter culture 15 CFU with concomitant positive blood culture of the same organism. No other identifiable source of infection. Local Catheter-Related Infection Definition Growth of 15 or more CFU from a catheter specimen by semiquantitative culture. Local signs of inflammation: erythema, swelling, tenderness, purulent material. Negative peripheral blood culture. Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection Approximately 25% of central venous catheters become colonized, and approximately 20-30% of colonized catheters will result in catheter sepsis Suppurative phlebitis Most often encountered in burn patients or other ICU patients who develop catheter-related infection that goes unrecognized, permitting microorganisms to proliferate to high levels within an intravascular thrombus. bloodstream infection characteristically persists after the catheter has been removed. Clinical picture of overwhelming sepsis with highgrade bacteremia or fungemia or with septic embolization. Recommendations for Obtaining Blood Cultures For patients without an indwelling vascular catheter, obtain at least 2 blood cultures using strict aseptic technique from peripheral sites by separate venipunctures after appropriate skin disinfection. For patients with an indwelling vascular catheter Obtain 3-4 blood cultures. Recommendations for Obtaining Blood Cultures For cutaneous disinfection: 2% chlorhexidine gluconate in 70% isopropyl alcohol tincture of iodine is equally effective (30 sec. of drying time). Povidine iodine is an acceptable alternative, but must wait greater than 2 minutes to dry. Recommendations for Obtaining Blood Cultures The injection port of the blood culture bottles should be wiped with 70-90% alcohol before injecting the blood sample into the bottle. Most blood culture bottles should not be swabbed with iodine-containing antiseptics. Draw 20-30ml of blood per culture. Label the blood culture with the exact time, date, and anatomic site from which it was taken. Management of fever in ICU There is no evidence that the yield of cultures drawn from an artery is different from the yield of cultures drawn from a vein. Catheter Cultures: Short catheter: tip. longer catheter: Tip and intracutaneous segment. Pulmonary artery catheter: Tip and introducer. It is rarely necessary to culture infusate specimens. It is rarely necessary to culture infusate specimens. Candidemia Candida species are constituents of the normal flora in about 30% of all healthy people. Antibiotic therapy increases the incidence of colonization by up to 70%. Candida Infection should be considered in febrile ICU patients who have been in the ICU for ≥10 days and have received multiple courses of antibiotics. Candidemia Although candiduria may be observed in up to 80% of patients with systemic candidiasis, candidemia from a urinary tract source is extremely rare. galactomannan and beta-D-glucan for aspergillosis and Candida may be useful as supportive evidence of infections but may be most useful to exclude invasive fungal infection, given their high negative predictive value. Catheter Related Blood Stream Infection CVC Insertion Bundle Hand hygiene. Maximal barrier precautions. Chlorhexidine skin antisepsis. Optimal catheter site selection, with avoidance of using the femoral vein for central venous access in adult patients. The Canadian Collaborative, Safer Healthcare Now Catheter Related Blood Stream Infection CVC Maintenance Bundle Daily review of line necessity and prompt removal of unnecessary lines. Dedicated lumen for total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Access the CVC lumens aseptically. Checking entry site for inflammation with every change of dressing. The Canadian Collaborative, Safer Healthcare Now Pulmonary Infections and ICU-Acquired Pneumonia Recommendations for Evaluation of Pulmonary Infections All radiographs should be performed in an erect sitting position, during deep inspiration if possible. The absence of infiltrates, masses, or effusions does not exclude pneumonia, abscess, or empyema. Obtain one sample of lower respiratory tract secretions for direct examination and culture before initiation of or change in antibiotics. Recommendations for Evaluation of Pulmonary Infections Isolation of enterococci, viridans streptococci, coagulase-negative staphylococci, and Candida species should rarely if ever be considered the cause of respiratory dysfunction. Quantitative cultures can provide useful information in certain patient populations when assessed in experienced laboratories. Ventilator Bundle Elevate the Head of the bed to 30-45 degrees. Peptic ulcer disease prophylaxis. Deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis. Provide mouth care every 2-4 hours. Sedation vacation every day. Repeated evaluation of the patient’s readiness to be weaned from the ventilator. Urinary Tract Infection Urinary Tract Infection Pyuria may be absent in patients with catheter-associated urinary tract infection and, even if present, is not reliably predictive of infection or associated with symptoms referable to the urinary tract. The rapid dipstick tests, which detect leukocyte esterase and nitrite, are unreliable tests in the setting of catheter-related urinary tract infection. Urinary Tract Infection The concentration of urinary bacteria or yeast needed to cause symptomatic urinary tract infection or fever is unclear. Bacteriuria with ≥ 105 CFUs of bacteria per milliliter of urine during bladder catheterization was associated with a 2.8-fold increase in mortality. Urinary Tract Infection Patients with urinary catheters in place should have urine collected from the sampling port and not from the drainage bag. Urine should be transported to the laboratory and processed within one hour to avoid bacterial multiplication. Gram stains of centrifuged urine will reliably show the infecting organisms UTI bundle Use sterile technique at insertion Perform a daily review of the need for the urinary catheter. Provide perineal care on a daily basis and after every bowel movment. Keep the drainage bag lower than patient's bladder at all times. Secure all catheters Infectious Diarrhea C.Difficile associated diarrhea May occur with any antibacterial agent, but the most common causes are clindamycin, cephalosporins, and fluoroquinolones. some patients with C.difficile especially those who are postoperative, may present with ileus or toxic megacolon or leukocytosis without diarrhea. C.difficile–associated diarrhea Methods Stool WBC Lactoferrin latex agg. test Sensitivity 40% 75% EIA toxin 72% 1st sample 84% 2nd sample 81% 1st sample 91% 2nd sample 71% severe disease 23% mild disease Tissue Culture assay Sigmoidoscopy C.difficile–associated diarrhea Cultures for C. difficile require 2 to 3 days for growth, and are not specific in distinguishing toxin-positive strains, toxinnegative strains, and asymptomatic carriage. Infection with Klebsiella oxytoca should be considered in patients who are negative for C. difficile. Acute neutropenic enterocolitis or typhlitis should be sought in cancer or stem cell transplant. Sinusitis Sinusitis Accounts for about 5% of nosocomial ICU infections. Polymicrobial infection in up to 50% of cases, reflecting ICU flora. Fever and Leucocytosis often present. Purulent nasal discharge often lacking. Sinus opacification by plain radiography is sensitive but nonspecific for the diagnosis. CT the modality of choice if clinical evaluation suggests that sinusitis may be a cause of fever. Sinusitis Risk factors: Naso-tracheal tubes (incidence of up to 85% after a week of intubation). Naso-gastric tubes. nasal packing. facial fractures. steroid therapy. Surgical Site Infections & Postoperative fever Surgical Site Infections Examine the surgical incision at least once daily. If there is suspicion of infection, the incision should be opened and cultured. Surgical Site Infections Tissue biopsies or aspirates are preferable to swabs. Superficial swab cultures are likely to be contaminated with commensal skin flora and are not recommended. Surgical Site Infection Prevention Bundle Appropriate use of Antibiotics. Appropriate hair removal. Preoperative glucose control in all diabetic patients. Preoperative normothermia. Postoperative fever 5 Ws Wind (atelectasis/pneumonia) Water (UTI) Walk (DVT-PA) Wound (infection) Wonder (drug reaction) Postoperative fever Time post OP Main causes <24 hours Transfusion reactions Thyroid storm Addisonian crisis Intestinal leaks 1-2 days Central line infections 3-5 days Acalculous cholecystitis Candidiasis (total parenteral nutrition) Hematomas leakage 6 days or more Abscesses Clostridium difficile colitis Infected Hematomas Parotitis (Staph. aureus) Sinusitis Postoperative fever Fever is a common occurrence during the first 48 hrs post OP, usually noninfectious in origin. Fever after 96 hrs post OP usually represents infection. Early wound infections (2-48hrs post OP): Streptococcus or Clostridium. Noninfectious fever Noninfectious fever For unknown reasons, most noninfectious disorders usually do not lead to a fever>102°F (38.9°C). Exceptions: Drug fever Transfusion reaction Neoplasm Malignant hyperthermia Neuroleptic malignant syndrome Noninfectious causes Acalculous cholecystitis Acute myocardial infarction Adrenal insufficiency Blood product transfusion Cytokine-related fever Dressler syndrome Drug related fever Fat emboli Fibroproliferative phase of acute respiratory distress syndrome Gout Heterotopic ossification Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome Intracranial bleed Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction Pancreatitis Pulmonary infarction Pneumonitis without infection Stroke Thyroid storm Transplant rejection Tumor lysis syndrome Venous thrombosis Acalculous cholecystitis Acalculous cholecystitis Occurs in approx 1.5% of critically ill (↑incidence), Potentially life threatening, frequently unrecognized. Complex pathophysiology: G B ischemia, bile stasis, prolonged fasting, positive-end expiratory pressure, parenteral nutrition and sustained narcotic therapy). High rate of gangrene and perforation. Should be considered in any post OP or acutely ill patient with upper abdominal pain, fever or leukocytosis. Acalculous cholecystitis US 90% Specific 100% Sensitive: ↑ wall thickness (>3mm) intramural lucencies GB distension pericholecystic fluid intramural sludge Treatment: Nonoperative percutaneous drainage successful 8090%. Open cholecystectomy remains treatment of choice. Mortality 15-30%. Drug-Related Fever Drug related fever Pathogenesis Hypersensitivity reaction. Local inflammation at the site of administration : (Amphotericin B, erythromycin, KCl, sulfonamides & cytotoxic chemotherapies) Drugs or their delivery systems may contain pyrogens or microbial contaminants. Stimulation of heat production: (e.g. thyroxine) Limit heat dissipation: (e.g., atropine) Alter thermoregulation : (e.g., phenothiazines, antihistamines , anti-parkinsonian drugs). Drug-Related Fever Rash occurs in a small fraction of cases. Eosinophilia is also uncommon. Among drug categories: Antimicrobials (especially B-lactam drugs). Antiepileptic drugs (especially phenytoin). Antiarrhythmics (especially quinidine, procainamide). Antihypertensives (methyldopa). Fever induced by drugs may take several days to resolve 3-7. Drug-Related Fever Withdrawal of certain drugs may be associated with fever, often with associated tachycardia, diaphoresis, and hyperreflexia. Alcohol, opiates (including methadone), barbiturates, and benzodiazepines have all been associated with this febrile syndrome. Withdrawal and related fever may occur several hours or days after admission. Drug-Related Fever Malignant Hyperthermia Due to genetic predisposition and exposure to succinylcholine or inhaled anesthetic agents. Autosomal-dominant abnormality of the skeletal muscle membrane (1:50000). Pathophysiology: massive efflux of calcium from skeletal muscle sarcoplastic reticulum. Patients may undergo several operations safely before MH crisis occurs. Drug-Related Fever Malignant Hyperthermia Onset can be delayed for as long as 24 hrs, especially if the patient is on steroids. Body temp increases rapidly ,along with muscle rigidity, tachycardia and increase CPK. Dantrolene 2 mg/kg q 5 minutes for a total dose of 10mg. Monitor for myoglobinuria and renal failure. 10-30% mortality. Drug-Related Fever Neuroleptic malignant syndrome Rare but more often identified in the ICU than malignant hyperthermia. It has been strongly associated with phenothiazines, thioxanthenes, and butyrophenones. In the ICU, haloperidol is perhaps the most frequently reported drug. Use of droperidol and metoclopramide also has been reported. The initiator of muscle contraction is central (increased levels of dopamine because of blockade of dopaminergic receptors). Drug-Related Fever Neuroleptic malignant syndrome Risk factors: Dehydration Alcoholism Prior brain injury Use of rapid neuroleptic Drug-Related Fever Neuroleptic malignant syndrome High fever, extrapyramidal symptoms such as lead pipe rigidity, hypercapnea, catatonia, stupor, rigidity, autonomic instability, tremor and rhabdomyolysis. Treatment: Cessation of antipsychotic medication Active cooling Hemodynamic support Dopamenergic agonists (amantadine, bromocriptine) Dantrolene Serotonin syndrome Caused by large number of medication either alone in high dose or in combination. increasingly seen with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors in the treatment of various psychiatric disorders. Serotonin syndrome Characterized by altered mental status, fever, agitation, myoclonus, ataxia. The serotonin syndrome may be exacerbated with concomitant use of linezolid. Treatment supportive and the serotonin blocker syproheptadine my be of benefit. Management of fever In ICU Clinical assessment of new fever should replace automatic, standing-order laboratory and radiologic tests in the ICU. Serum procalcitonin levels and endotoxin activity assay can be employed as an adjunctive diagnostic tool for discriminating infection as the cause for fever or sepsis presentations.
