Steps To Prevent Mortality in a Patient with Coinciding Severe Sepsis and Cardiogenic Shock Post-Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI): A Case Report

Severe sepsis is characterized by acute organ dysfunction secondary to an infective source, often requiring emergent medical intervention. The severity of sepsis is determined by a criterion that focuses on the presence of fever, tachycardia, tachypnea, leukocytosis, lactic acidosis, hypotension, ev...

description Severe sepsis is characterized by acute organ dysfunction secondary to an infective source, often requiring emergent medical intervention. The severity of sepsis is determined by a criterion that focuses on the presence of fever, tachycardia, tachypnea, leukocytosis, lactic acidosis, hypotension, evidence of organ failure, and the presence of an infective source. Management of sepsis in patients with a coinciding ischemic event such as a myocardial infarction (MI), is difficult, given the prognosis is poor and there is a high risk for mortality. This case report explores methodical medical measures taken to prevent mortality in an 81-year-old Hispanic male that developed severe sepsis in conjunction with a complicated presentation of a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).
