Abstraction Worksheet: Sepsis Calculators

There are two calculators on the Sepsis worksheet.

1. The first appears on the data element question, “Were crystalloid fluids initiated within the specified time frame AND completely infused based on the target ordered volume?”



Clicking the calculator icon will open the Target Ordered Volume Calculator.



Enter weight in lbs. or kgs to display the Target Volume.

2. The second appears on the data element question, “Was persistent hypotension or new onset of hypotension present within one hour of the conclusion of crystalloid fluid administration?”

Clicking the drop icon will open the Infusion Rate Calculator.

The calculator will provide the infusion rate, so calculations can be performed according to the Persistent Hypotension data element in the Inpatient Specifications.
