The evolution and therapy aspects in multiple organ dysfunction sepsis
Background Severe sepsis was the subject of intense debate over the years, and in the last twenty years there has been a constant effort to identify therapies that reduce mortality. Although the inflammatory response is often adapted to the etiologic agent and to the increase of the mediators in association with organ dysfunction, it is not currently possible to rapidly assess the patients’ abi...

متن کاملThe Relationship between Plasma Levels of Interleukin-6, Multiple Organ Dysfunction and Mortality in Orthopedic Patients
Background: Interleukin 6 (IL-6) functions as both a pro-inflammatory cytokine and an anti-inflammatory cytokine. Objective: To evaluate the levels of IL-6 in patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Methods: Level of IL-6 was assessed and recorded for 14 days subsequent to the injury in 161 multiple trauma patients. MODS were diagnosed using Marshal Score. Injury Severity Scor...
متن کاملPersistent Inflammation, Immunosuppression, and Catabolism: Evolution of Multiple Organ Dysfunction.
BACKGROUND Multiple organ dysfunction (MOD) has plagued intensive care units (ICUs) for more than four decades, and its epidemiology has evolved because more patients are surviving previously lethal insults. Over the years, different predominant phenotypes of MOD have been described, all of which have consumed tremendous healthcare resources and have been associated with prolonged ICU stays and...
متن کاملThe role of the endothelium in severe sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.
Severe sepsis, defined as sepsis with acute organ dysfunction, is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. The development of novel therapies for sepsis is critically dependent on an understanding of the basic mechanisms of the disease. The pathophysiology of severe sepsis involves a highly complex, integrated response that includes the activation of a number of cell types, inflammat...
