18.1 SepsisGuide
The SepsisGuide function provides sepsis screening and treatment tracking tools according to Sepsis -3 (Third
International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock) and the Surviving Sepsis Campaign - International
Guidelines for Treatment of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock - 2012 ("SSC Guidelines"), for the user to screen patients
for sepsis at the bedside and track sepsis patients for achievement of resuscitation goals and completion of therapy.
NOTE
 Due to the limited screen size, the measures suggested by the SepsisGuide function of the Monitor
cannot be as detailed as complete procedures.
 SepsisGuide is not a diagnostic or therapeutic tool and cannot replace the professional judgment of a
physician.
 The SepsisGuide function is applicable only to adult patients with sepsis or suspected sepsis.
18.1.1 Go to the SepsisGuide Menu
Click [Main Menu] hot key → [CAA] → [SepsisGuide].
18.1.2 Sepsis Screening
SepsisGuide supports two scores: qSOFA score (Quick SOFA score) and SOFA score. The qSOFA score is used for
rapid screening of sepsis; the SOFA score is used for further screening of sepsis on patients with a positive qSOFA
screening result.
18.1.2.1 qSOFA Score
The patient is scored based on his/her respiration rate, systolic blood pressure and mental state.
If the patient is undergoing RESP and NIBP monitoring the Monitor will automatically obtain the RR value and BP-
SYS value for scoring purposes. It also supports manual entering of parameter values and manual selection of the
patient's mental state. The Monitor will automatically calculate the qSOFA score based on such parameter values.
Click " " and enter the parameter values manually. The keyboard symbol to the right of the parameter value
indicates that such values were entered manually.
If the total score of sepsis is suspected to be equal to or greater than 2, please select [SOFA >>] to obtain the SOFA
score.
You can select [Reset] to clear the current score.
