Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome

decrease, whereas distributive types of shock are related to a primary dysfunction of the resistive component of the cardiovascular system. In vasoplegia, vascular tone is reduced and there is a noticeably depressed constrictive response of arterioles to vasoconstrictors, and is a main cause is septic shock (Levy et al., 2010). Sepsis-induced vasoplegia is a component of a generalized circulatory dysfunction that involves the macro- and microcirculation, heart, and endothelium, as an outcome of a systemic inflammatory response accumulated by the host in response to invading microorganisms (Hollenberg, 2009). Various evidences accumulated over the past 2 decades has suggested that enhanced formation of free radicals and oxidant species symbolizes a key pathophysiological mechanism of cardiovascular dysfunction and organ damage during sepsis (Pacher et al., 2007). Among such oxidizing agents, the powerful oxidant peroxynitrite has received particular interest as an essential mediator…

It knows no boundaries. It is not biased or racist, and it is a killer. It will affect any age or gender. It is cunning, quick to manifest itself, and life-threatening, it is septic shock. Sepsis is a crafty syndrome that most people may not even realize they have until a family member realizes they are acting different and takes them to the emergency department. First it starts with an infection, then early sepsis, which if not treated it turns into septic shock. Sepsis is defined by the…

patients without their consent only applies for the mental disorder, not for the physical disorders unless it is the cause of mental disorder. (MIND for Better Mental Health, 2013). Sepsis is a general reaction to an infection which is known as “Systemic Inflammatory Response (SIRS)” (Brooker and Nicol, 2014). When having sepsis the temperature could go above 38°C or below 36°C, heart rate above 90 beats per minute (bpm), respiratory rate above 20 breaths per minute. Severe sepsis could possibly…

cardiac output, fluid therapy was initiated. However, due to CC’s multiple abrasions sustained from the accident, and invasive lines attached to him, it placed him at risk for sepsis. Sepsis is a systemic response to infection. Hemodynamic monitoring can be an effective tool for continuous assessment and monitoring of patient’s response to treatment regardless whether the type of shock that patient has is neurogenic,…

gastroenteritis and also about the patients with eosinophilic gastroenteritis with focal infiltration of a particular organ of the gastrointestinal tract from all over the world in literature. However, involvement of multiple organs with eosinophilia is rarely reported. Elevations in the levels of peripheral blood and tissue eosinophils can be seen in a multitude of disease processes that include infections, allergies, neoplasms, primary disorders of the hematologic system, and other less well…

fight an infection trigger inflammation throughout the body. This can cause many changes that include: damage to multiple organ systems, leading organ failure. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition where the risk of death has been reported to be even higher than that associated with the major complications of atherosclerosis, such as myocardial infarction and stroke. In all three conditions, early treatment could limit organ dysfunction and thereby improve patient’s outcome. Good pre-hospital…

Organ failure of one or more of the following; shock (systolic blood pressure < 90mm Hg), renal failure (serum creatinine>177 μmol/l or 2mg/dl after rehydration), pulmonary insufficiency (pao2500ml in 24 hours); 2. Local pancreatic complications such as pseudocyst, abscess or necrosis; 3. A score of 3 or more on Ranson’s criteria; 4. A score of 8 or more on acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II). Patients must meet one or more of the above four criteria to be…

This is a condition where the lung tissue that is affected begins to die off and starts to store debris or fluid caused by the microbialn infection. Eventually the lungs will have to be drained of fluid during a surgery, and oxygen therapy will have to be instituted.provided. Skin Disorders: Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a skin reaction that starts with flu like symptoms and leads to a painful red rash. The rash may turn into blisters that spread. Other skin conditions that may arise include…

It is a defect on their chromosome 15, which affects one out of every 15000 births. Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disease that causes children to be hyperphagia meaning they…

misfolded and then deposited in the tissues and organs of the body. It is a serious condition that can affect one organ or tissue or multiple organs at the same time. This study was performed to analyze and describe the latest clinical trials, research, diagnosis procedures, treatment plans, and drugs available for the treatment of amyloidosis AL (primary), AA (secondary), ATTR (hereditary and senile), and Localized. The findings show that middle age and elderly, males more than females, are at…
