Participant Flow

Patients with a sepsis screening score \> or equal to 4 (which indicates potential sepsis) and with a suspected source of infection were enrolled, and they were later randomized if septic shock developed, per the protocol. Only 8 enrolled patients progressed to septic shock, and therefore only 8 participants were randomized and started the protocol.

Initial Resuscitation With Plasma
Initial resuscitation with plasma will be 10 mL/kg (700 mL in a typical 70 kg adult). Traditional doses of plasma, when used to correct coagulopathy range from 10-15 mL/kg.23 The plasma will be administered at a rate of 2-3 mL/kg/hr (140-210 mL/hr in a typical 70 kg adult). A research physician will be at bedside to follow patient resuscitation. Plasma administration may be terminated before the entire dose is administered if patients show clinical improvement. After the initial dose of plasma has been given, subsequent resuscitation will follow usual care using balanced crystalloids.

Initial Resuscitation With Balanced Crystalloids
Usual care using balanced crystalloids (Iso-Lyte or Plasma-Lyte) only will follow Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines. Controls will receive 30 mL/kg (2100 mL in a typical 70 kg adult) of crystalloids within the first 3 hours. Subsequent resuscitation with balanced crystalloids will be titrated to the endpoints of resuscitation.

Timeframe: 0, 2, end of initial bolus of fluid administration (about 3 hours), 12, and 24 hours

Population: In the plasma arm, sample levels were out of range and thus no value could be obtained for 3 participants at all time points. In the balanced crystalloids arm, sample levels were out of range and thus no value could be obtained for 3 participants at 0, 2, and 12 hours; for 2 at about 3 hours and at 24 hours; and for all 4 at 12 hours--in addition to those with sample levels out of range, there was 1 other participant for whom no data at all were collected at 3 hours and 24 hours.
