Hydroxocobalamin In Septic Shock Management – Should It Be Introduced Sooner?, Linh Tang Taylor, Md, Cameron Miles Long, Md, Omar Pandhair Apr 2026

Hydroxocobalamin In Septic Shock Management – Should It Be Introduced Sooner?, Linh Tang Taylor, Md, Cameron Miles Long, Md, Omar Pandhair

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Introduction: Treating sepsis involves timely antibiotics, adequate fluid resuscitation, and vasopressor support if shock develops. Plasma concentrations of nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfides are elevated in early sepsis, contributing to vasoplegia,1 a pathology that isn’t addressed by vasopressors. High-dose hydroxocobalamin (vitamin B12) does, and therefore, has long been explored as a potential adjunct to vasopressors, though no consensus or official guidelines for its use have been published. Case Report: A 26-year-old man who was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia a few months prior presented to the emergency room for fever, weakness, and emesis. He was found to be profoundly hypotensive …


Closing The Gap: Standardizing Sepsis Management To Address Racial Disparities Across Oregon Providence Hospitals, Jennifer Wong, Do, Shelley Schoepflin Sanders, Md, Facp Apr 2026

Closing The Gap: Standardizing Sepsis Management To Address Racial Disparities Across Oregon Providence Hospitals, Jennifer Wong, Do, Shelley Schoepflin Sanders, Md, Facp

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Introduction: Sepsis is a time-sensitive, life-threatening medical emergency affecting approximately 1.7 million adults annually in the United States, contributing to nearly 270,000 deaths and over $24 billion in healthcare expenditures. Delays in recognition and initiation of treatment can significantly increase mortality. Previous studies have identified persistent racial disparities in sepsis care, including lower rates of recognition as the principal diagnosis and delayed antibiotic initiation for Black patients compared with White patients. In alignment with Providence’s mission to provide compassionate, equitable care, Oregon Providence hospitals implemented a standardized “Sepsis Order Set” in all Emergency Departments (ED) to reduce treatment delays and …


Idiopathic Systemic Capillary Leak Syndrome With Shock And Compartment Syndrome Due To Influenza A, Jobe Ashby, Md, Katelyn Bobrowski, Do, Ryan Best, Md Apr 2026

Idiopathic Systemic Capillary Leak Syndrome With Shock And Compartment Syndrome Due To Influenza A, Jobe Ashby, Md, Katelyn Bobrowski, Do, Ryan Best, Md

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

INTRODUCTION: Idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (ISCLS) is a rare, poorly understood condition that leads to extreme pathology with severe but predictable complications. First described in 1960, ISCLS has been identified in about 260 case reports and is marked by a triad of hypotension, hypoalbuminemia, and hemoconcentration often preceded by upper respiratory tract infection. It is divided into distinct phases of prodrome, extravasation, and recovery. We present a case of a middle-aged woman who presented with influenza A infection and developed ISCLS needing ICU level care for shock and bilateral upper extremity compartment syndrome. DESCRIPTION: Our patient is a 49-year-old …


Sepsis Transitional Care Management: A Phone Call To Reduce Readmission Health Inequity, Linh Tang Taylor, Md, Erica Leser, Ms, Alyssa Nelson, Michelle Schoepflin Sanders, Md Apr 2026

Sepsis Transitional Care Management: A Phone Call To Reduce Readmission Health Inequity, Linh Tang Taylor, Md, Erica Leser, Ms, Alyssa Nelson, Michelle Schoepflin Sanders, Md

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Introduction: Sepsis accounts for 52% of hospital admissions in the United States and is the leading cause of death among hospitalized patients1 . However, disparity exists among sepsis survivors with race being reported as a determinant of recovery2 . Such disparity exists in Providence Oregon 8 hospitals: Providence Black patients have higher sepsis readmission rates than White (12.93% vs 11.65%). Using modified community-based participatory research, data analysis, and stakeholder interviews, we identified one potential root cause of the disparity: Black patients being readmitted are not receiving our system's Transitional Care Management (TCM) services. We aim to eliminate the Black/White sepsis …


Ofatumumab Associated Legionella Pneumonia In A Young Multiple Sclerosis Patient, Jobe Ashby, Omar Panhair Apr 2026

Ofatumumab Associated Legionella Pneumonia In A Young Multiple Sclerosis Patient, Jobe Ashby, Omar Panhair

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Ofatumumab is the only anti-CD20 IgG1κ human monoclonal antibody therapy for relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) that patients can self-administer subcutaneously. Anti-CD20 agents are biologic therapies that carry an increased risk of serious infections, but rarely Legionellosis. We present the case of a young man taking ofatumumab for his MS who developed Legionella pneumoniae pneumonia. A 30-year-old man with MS diagnosed two years prior, stable on ofatumumab, presented with fevers, cough, and hemoptysis. A week earlier, he developed fevers and myalgias after administering ofatumumab, but these symptoms persisted longer than usual. Though initial vital signs were normal, he appeared …


An Exploration Of Drivers Of Sepsis Outcomes In Racial And Ethnic Minority Populations, Matthew Moritz, Omar Pandhair, Shelley Schoepflin Sanders Apr 2026

An Exploration Of Drivers Of Sepsis Outcomes In Racial And Ethnic Minority Populations, Matthew Moritz, Omar Pandhair, Shelley Schoepflin Sanders

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

RATIONALE: Race and ethnicity affect sepsis outcomes in unclear ways. Existing data is conflicting, with some studies suggesting minority patients do worse, while others did not show a difference in outcomes between these groups. We sought to investigate whether inequalities exist in sepsis outcomes for different racial and ethnic groups in our large hospital system and to characterize how they may manifest. METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study of adults diagnosed with sepsis and discharged from any of Providence’s 52 hospitals between January 1 and December 31, 2023. We grouped patients into ten different race/ethnicity groups including White, Black, …
