Immediate priorities
Stabilization and time zero
Airway and breathing threats
Altered mental status
Respiratory distress
Hypoxemia
Circulation threats
Hypotension
New or worsening tachycardia
Poor perfusion
Neutropenic sepsis trigger
Fever with suspected infection and ANC < 0.5 x 10^9/L
Fever with expected ANC < 0.5 x 10^9/L within 48 hours
Antibiotic timing target
First dose within 60 minutes of ED arrival for suspected neutropenic sepsis
Door to antibiotic metric documentation
Early source control mindset
Suspected catheter infection
Suspected obstructed urinary tract
Suspected necrotizing soft tissue infection
Sepsis bundle in immunocompromised host
Sepsis recognition and perfusion
Hemodynamic monitoring
Continuous pulse oximetry
Telemetry
Frequent blood pressure cycling
Lactate strategy
Initial lactate for suspected sepsis
Repeat lactate if elevated or clinical deterioration
Fluids and pressors
If hypotension or lactate elevation, crystalloid bolus guided by response
If persistent hypotension, norepinephrine first line
Early ICU pathway triggers
Vasopressor requirement
Rising lactate
Worsening mental status
Escalating oxygen requirement
Infection control and isolation
Exposure and transmission precautions
Respiratory virus season precautions
Masking and droplet precautions if respiratory symptoms
Rapid respiratory viral testing per local policy
High risk mucositis and diarrhea precautions
Contact precautions if concern for infectious diarrhea
C difficile testing criteria
