INTRA-ABDOMINAL SEPSIS FOLLOWING LIVER TRAUMA
The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1988Of 330 consecutive patients with liver trauma having a celiotomy over a 5-year period, 295 (89%) survived more than 72 hours. Of these 295, 35 (12%) developed sepsis, and 11 (31%) of these septic patients died. The sources of the sepsis in 30 of these patients included: abdominal abscesses--23, pneumonia or empyema--seven, acalculous cholecystitis--two,

Infection within the abdomen is a common clinical problem affecting both patients in the community and in hospital. Infections may vary from mild self limiting gastro-enteritis to multiple life threatening opportunistic infections in the immunocompromised.

Initially, intra-abdominal contamination with endogenous bacteria produces peritonitis and septicemia. If the infection is localized and the patient survives, the late phase is usually abscess formation. Treatment consists of prompt, thorough surgical drainage, with repair of the diseased or traumatized viscera, as well as the use of preoperative ...

Management of Intra-abdominal Sepsis
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1991The management of intra-abdominal sepsis includes drainage of septic foci, debridement of devitalized tissue, and prevention of continuing peritoneal contamination. An algorithm is presented as an aid to the thought process.

Management of intra-abdominal sepsis
The American Journal of Medicine, 1986Intra-abdominal sepsis most frequently follows penetrating or blunt abdominal trauma or perforated appendicitis or diverticulitis. The initial leakage of the endogenous gastrointestinal microflora into the peritoneal cavity results in peritonitis and secondary septicemia, which is frequently followed by localized intra-abdominal abscess.

Management of intra-abdominal sepsis
The American Journal of Surgery, 1970Summary The management of seventy-five patients requiring 116 surgical drainage procedures for intra-abdominal abscesses over a two and a half year period is presented. Fifty-six of the patients were injured by hostile fire in Vietnam and nineteen had abscesses from other than wounds. Early diagnosis and aggressive therapy are stressed.

Intra-abdominal sepsis is a heterogeneous condition which in its severe forms carries a high mortality. The systemic consequences of established major infection are the result of a complex pathophysiology whose mechanisms are imcompletely understood. It is clear that early appropriate therapy is vital in minimizing effects of intra-abdominal infection ...

Intra-abdominal sepsis remains one of the major challenges to the surgeon. With a proper appreciation of the bacteriology and pathophysiology involved and an awareness of new diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, hopefully, mortality and morbidity rates can be reduced.
