In CCVR/inteRn: What the package does (short line)

Description

Helps you decide wether your patient meets criteria for SIRS, sepsis, septic shock or multi-organ dysfunction syndrome.

Usage

SIRS.Sepsis.Septic(
  HR = 90,
  RR = 20,
  temp = 38,
  PaCO2 = 32,
  WBC = 12000,
  percent.band.neutrofils = 10,
  source.of.infection = "present",
  lactic.acidosis = FALSE,
  sbp = 90,
  sbp.drop = 40,
  fluid.resuciation = FALSE,
  multi.organ.failure = FALSE
)

Arguments

HR	Numerical value corresponding to the number of the patient's heart beats per minute.
RR	Numerical value corresponding to the patient's respirations per minute.
temp	Numerical value corresponding to the patient's temperature in Celsius.
PaCO2	Numerical value corresponding to the patient's partial arterial pressure of CO2.
WBC	Numerical value corresponding to the number of WBC's in the patient's CBC.
percent.band.neutrofils	Numerical value corresponding to the percent of band neutrophils in the patient's CBC.
source.of.infection	String value. "present" if there is a source of infection, 'absent' if there is no source of infection and 'suspected' if there is suspected but unconfirmed source of infection.
lactic.acidosis	Boolean value. TRUE if the patient has lactic acidosis.
sbp	Numerical value corresponding to the patient's systolic blood pressure.
sbp.drop	Numerical value corresponding to the drop in the patient's systolic blood pressure.
fluid.resuciation	Boolean value. TRUE if there have been attempts to resucitate blood pressure with fluid hydration.
multi.organ.failure	Boolean value. TRUE if the patient has organ failure in 2 or more organs.

Value

Returns a string letting the user know which criteria his patient meets.
