Introduction: “Organ in Shock”, “Early Organ Failure”, “Late Organ Failure”

1993
The pathophysiology of traumatic shock, like that of severe intraoperative stress, is closely related to the development of a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), which can lead to a subsequent organ dysfunction syndrome, which in turn can finally result in a multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (MODS) [1].

The Syndrome of Multiple Organ Failure

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 1990
Current technology has prolonged the life support of patients with organ failures. The onset of MOF follows an inciting event and develops a clinical pattern of lung, liver, and kidney failure. Laboratory evidence of the syndrome includes hyperbilirubinemia, hyperglycemia, increased blood lactate, and reduced levels of hepatic proteins.

Non‐organic failure to thrive

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 1984
Abstract Non‐organic failure to thrive is a clinical diagnosis which should be considered in parallel with other causes of failure to thrive in infants. It has not been resolved as to whether the condition is due to a lack of stimulation or to deprivation of calories, although both these factors, as well as a contribution from the child in some cases,

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 ...

Strategies to prevent organ failure

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 1999
The gastrointestinal tract and the generalized inflammatory response initiated by severe injury or infection have been implicated in the pathophysiology of multiple-organ system failure. Once multiple-organ system failure has occurred, treatment focuses on supporting end-organ function.

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: Is It Disappearing?

World Journal of Surgery, 1996
AbstractThe incidence of multiple organ failure (MOF) during the last decade has been reported variously as 2% to 25%, depending on the patient population examined. The mortality rate from this devastating complication ranges from 40% to 80%. Although the incidence has not changed during the last decade, it does not mean that there has been no progress.

Shock and Multiple Organ Failure

1994
Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), previously known as multiple organ failure, has emerged as the leading cause of mortality in surgical critical care. It is a syndrome of sequential and progressive organ dysfunction, associated with a sustained, massive inflammatory response that is often preceded by insults such as sepsis, hemorrhagic shock,

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 and the Gut

Digestive Surgery, 2008
It has been suggested that gut hypoxia is important in the development of multiple-organ failure, by triggering increased mediator release, and through altered gut mucosal permeability leading to increased bacterial translocation. Studies generally show that the gut is at risk during circulatory failure, as there is often redistribution of blood flow ...
