Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that causes a global health burden associated with high mortality and morbidity. Often life-threatening, sepsis can be caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi. Sepsis management primarily focuses on source control and early broad-spectrum antibiotics, plus organ function support. Comprehensive changes in the way we manage sepsis patients include early identification, infective focus identification and immediate treatment with antimicrobial therapy, appropriate supportive care and hemodynamic optimization. Despite all efforts of clinical and experimental research over thirty years, the capacity to positively influence the outcome of the disease remains limited. This can be due to limited studies available on sepsis in developing countries, especially in Southeast Asia. This review summarizes the progress made in the diagnosis and time associated with sepsis, colistin resistance and chloramphenicol boon, antibiotic abuse, resource constraints and association of sepsis with COVID-19 in Southeast Asia. A personalized approach and innovative therapeutic alternatives such as CytoSorb® are highlighted as potential options for the treatment of patients with sepsis in Southeast Asia.

Background: We aimed to study organizational aspects, case mix, and practices in Indian intensive care units (ICUs) from 2018 to 2019, following the Indian Intensive Care Case Mix and Practice Patterns Study (INDICAPS) of 2010--2011. Methods: An observational, 4-day point prevalence study was performed between 2018 and 2019. ICU, patient characteristics, and interventions were recorded for 24 hours, and ICU outcomes till 30 days after the study day. Adherence to selected compliance measures was determined. Data were analyzed for 4,669 adult patients from 132 ICUs. Results: On the study day, mean age, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE II), and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores were 56.9 ± 17.41 years, 16.7 ± 9.8, and 4.4 ± 3.6, respectively. Moreover, 24% and 22.2% of patients received mechanical ventilation (MV) and vasopressors or inotropes (VIs), respectively. On the study days, 1,195 patients (25.6%) were infected and 1,368 patients (29.3%) had sepsis during their ICU stay. ICU mortality was 1,092 out of 4,669 (23.4%), including 737 deaths and 355 terminal discharges (TDs) from ICU. Compliance for process measures related to MV ranged between 62.7 and 85.3%, 11.2 and 47.4% for monitoring delirium, sedation, and analgesia, and 7.7 and 25.3% for inappropriate transfusion of blood products. Only 34.8% of ICUs routinely used capnography. Large hospitals with ≥500 beds, closed ICUs, the APACHE II and SOFA scores, medical admissions, the presence of cancer or cirrhosis of the liver, the presence of infection on the study day, and the need for MV or VIs were independent predictors of mortality. Conclusions: Hospital size and closed ICUs are independently associated with worse outcomes. The proportion of TDs remains high. There is a scope for improvements in processes of care.

Background: This study presents a real-world scenario for prescription pattern, efficacy, and safety data on the current clinical use of intravenous fosfomycin in critically ill patients in Indian settings. Patients and methods: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted for a period of 10 months among critically ill patients admitted to hospital's critical care unit. The primary objective of the study was to analyze the prescription pattern of intravenous fosfomycin, and the secondary objective was to evaluate the safety profile and patient outcomes. Results: A total of 309 patients were enrolled, and they were diagnosed with bacteremia (45.3%), pneumonia (15.85%), septic shock (14.24%), and urinary tract infections (UTI) (13.91%). The average dose of fosfomycin given was 11.7 ± 4.06 gm/day. The average duration of the therapy was 4.85 ± 3.59 days with a median duration of 4 days. Fosfomycin was given at 8 hourly dosing frequency to maximum (45.6%) cases. Hypokalemia was the most observed adverse event. The overall survival was seen in 55% of patients. Conclusion: Our data suggest that UTI, infection caused by Escherichia coli, and a daily dose of >12 g were associated with better clinical outcomes. The overall survival of critically ill patients receiving fosfomycin was 55%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: COVID‐19 usually presents with upper respiratory tract infection in varying severity which can lead to sepsis. Early prediction of sepsis may reduce mortality by timely interventions. The intended purpose of this study was to determine whether the advanced parameters like the extended inflammation parameters (EIPs) can predict prognosis and early progression to sepsis as a sequel of COVID‐19 infection and can be used as a screening profile. Also, to evaluate the Intensive Care Infection Score (ICIS) and the COVID‐19 prognostic score and validate the scores for our population. Methods: Prospective observational study of 50 reverse transcription‐ polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) proven admitted COVID‐19 patients. The data assessed included complete blood counts (CBC) with EIP measurements, from Day 1 of admission to Day 10. The following groups were studied: noncritical (NC) and critical illness (CI) in COVID‐19 positive cases, COVID negative sepsis and nonsepsis cases, and healthy volunteers for reference range. Results: The parameters that showed statistically significant higher mean in CI group compared to the NC group are reactive lymphocyte number and percentage (RE‐LYMPH#, RE‐LYMPH%), antibody synthesizing lymphocyte number and percentage (AS‐LYMPH#, AS‐LYMPH%), Reactive monocyte count and percentage (RE‐MONO#, RE‐MONO%/M), ICIS, COVID‐19 prognostic score (p‐value <0.05). The AUC confirmed the diagnostic accuracy of all these parameters. From the multivariate logistic regression, the significant risk factor was RE‐LYMPH# with cut‐off >0.10 (p value: 0.011). Conclusion: The new EIP parameters, RE‐MONO#, RE‐MONO%/M, ICIS score and COVID‐19 prognostic score are useful for early prediction of critical illness. AS‐LYMPH is the most useful predictor of critical illness on multivariate analysis. RE‐MONO# and RE‐MONO%/M parameter are useful in distinguishing critical and noncritical non‐COVID and COVID‐19 patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We performed an analysis of two blood purification systems to determine their performance for removing interleukins (ILs)-6 and 10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 from blood. An in vitro hemoperfusion blood recirculation circuit was used to compare the CytoSorb® 300 mL (CytoSorbents Inc., Princeton, NJ) and Jafron HA 380 (Jafron Biomedical Co., Ltd., Zhuhai City, China) devices. The removal of purified recombinant human IL-6, IL-10, TNFα and MCP-1 by the adsorbers was compared at various timepoints. Three runs were completed and removal was evaluated as the mean area under the curve (AUC). Both devices showed effective removal of the tested cytokines. IL-6, IL-10, TNFα and MCP-1 were removed faster and to a higher extent by the CytoSorb® 300 mL device. At maximal time of 12 h, overall removal according to AUC of remaining concentrations was significantly lower with CytoSorb® 300 mL compared with HA 380 (IL-6: 1075.5 ± 665.9 vs. 4345.1 ± 1499.3 (p = 0.01), IL-10: 5065.7 ± 882.5 vs. 11,939.7 ± 4523.1 (p = 0.03), TNF-α: 6519.9 ± 997.6 vs. 10,303.7 ± 2347.0 (p = 0.03) and MCP-1: 278.9 ± 40.7 vs. 607.3 ± 84.4 (p = 0.001)). Both the CytoSorb® and the Jafron HA 380 devices are capable of removing cytokines from blood in a benchtop model. The CytoSorb® 300 device was significantly more efficient achieving the bulk of the removal in the first 120 min. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
