Clinical Simulation
Urologic Sepsis
About This Course
What you'll experience
Stephanie, a 59 year old female, has called EMS due to a worsening left flank pain, nausea, and decreased PO intake. She has a 7-day history of dysuria, urinary frequency, and fever which was preceded by an intermittent left flank pain that is now constant. She has a past medical history of a ST-elevation myocardial infarction 5 years ago. Stephanie has become unstable requiring fluid resuscitation, vasopressors, and empiric antibiotic treatment. The team leader will manage the patient with severe sepsis secondary to an infected ureteric calculus, then arrange emergent urologic consultation and admission to hospital. This multiplayer VR session on urologic sepsis is designed to provide learners practice in handling an emergency sepsis patient.
Learning Objectives
- Conducting initial assessment of patient
- Early recognition of sepsis and identifying a likely source of infection
- Timely implementation of broad-spectrum antibiotics and source control
- Eliminate other differential diagnoses of shock

Core Skills Training
Core Skill
Urologic Sepsis
In this scenario, learners will be required to conduct an initial patient assessment using SAMPLE and OPQRST, and standard physical assessment to identify the symptoms of urologic sepsis.
As the condition of the patient deteriorates and recognizing the patient to be suffering from septic shock, a call is placed to the physician and an SBAR provided. The physician would prescribe medications and provide further instructions.
All necessary affordances are made available to learners to help them complete the assessment and related tasks efficiently.
