Multiple organ failure.

Lancet (London, England), 1977
Forty-two postoperative patients, each with demonstrable failure of two or more vital organ systems, have been studied as they define a syndrome of multiple organ failure. They typify the emerging clinical entity of patients kept alive solely by reason of specific mechanical and pharmacologic support. Trauma initiated hospitalization in 40 per cent and

Multisystem organ failure

The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2005
3 m 1 i r. Regan Marsh: Today’s case is that of a 53-year-old an with metastatic colon cancer, who was transferred rom an outside Emergency Department (ED) for a hange in mental status. The patient had been well until he day prior, when he had the onset of confusion and iarrhea. The symptoms worsened and he was taken to he nearest ED.

Postinjury multiple organ failure

Injury, 2009
Postinjury multiple organ failure (MOF) became prevalent as the improvements in critical care during the 1970s made it possible to keep trauma patients alive with single organ injury. Enormous efforts invested in laboratory and clinical research made it possible to better understand the epidemiology and pathophysiology of the syndrome.

Multiple-Organ-Failure Syndrome

Archives of Surgery, 1986
INCIDENCE AND PROBLEMS OF MULTIPLE-ORGAN-FAILURE SYNDROMES The panelists for the discussion were C. James Carrico, MD, from Seattle; Jonathan Meakins, MD, DSc, FRCSC, FACS, from Montreal; Donald Fry, MD, from Cleveland; and Ronald V. Maier, MD, from Seattle. Dr Carrico: Multiple-organ-failure (MOF) syndrome is a process that occurs following 7% to 22%

Organ failure in sepsis

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2007
The development of organ failure determines the course and prognosis of the septic patient. Although several successful clinical trials in recent years have raised the enthusiasm of intensivists, severe sepsis and septic shock still have an increasing incidence with more or less unchanged mortality.

Multiple System Organ Failure

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1983
The current understanding of organ failures and their clinical presentation is reviewed. Some broad categories of the investigation of the pathophysiology of this failure are presented: blood-borne toxins, the microaggregate concept, host-defense dysfunction, and biochemical studies of altered metabolism in patients with sepsis.

Multiple organ failure syndrome

Critical Care Nurse, 1994
Although many new areas of research are directed at the regulatory aspects of the metabolic response, the prognosis of MOF remains poor. Critical care nurses, challenged to provide a supportive environment during this life-threatening syndrome, must understand its onset, clinical patterns, and prolonged support required by patients. Such knowledge will

Multiple Organ Failure Syndrome

Perspectives in Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy, 1990
Tissue injury, whether from infection, blood or volume loss, trauma, or inflammation such as pancreatitis, induces local and systemic responses. The systemic responses include shock, reperfusion, systemic inflammation (hypermetabolism) with primary organ dysfunction, and secondary organ dysfunction that either becomes progressive and leads to death or ...

Multiple-Organ Failure

Archives of Surgery, 1985
As multiple-organ failure (MOF) has been generally associated with sepsis, the importance of bacterial sepsis was evaluated retrospectively in 55 trauma and 37 intra-abdominal-sepsis patients with MOF. The severity of MOF was graded, and an analysis was made of day of onset, incidence, severity, sequence, and mortality of organ failures.
