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

The Pathogenesis of Multiple Organ Failure

Archives of Surgery, 1988
Nuytinck et al, 1 on the basis of a review of autopsy specimens and reports in 35 trauma cases, hypothesize that "whole-body inflammation" indexed by increased organ weight and intraorgan accumulation of neutrophils represents a preclinical stage of multiple organ failure (MOF).

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%

Ingredients of Organ Dysfunction or Failure

World Journal of Surgery, 1996
AbstractThe simultaneous dysfunction of several organs (MODS, or multiple organ dysfunction) represents the most challenging task for the intensivist. In recent years more and more patients have been diagnosed as suffering from MODS due to several causes, including better immediate treatment of injuries that only a few years ago would have been ...

The Multiple Organ Failure Syndrome

Hospital Practice, 1990
Technology that has made it possible to resuscitate the severely sick and injured from formerly lethal shock has exposed a new disease. A potential sequela of ruptured aneurysm, acute pancreatitis, septic shock, burns, surgical complications, and trauma, MOF syndrome is the leading cause of death in surgical ICUs.

PREVENTION OF MULTIPLE ORGAN FAILURE

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1999
Physicians are still largely ignorant of the underlying biology of SIRS and multiple organ failure. Nonetheless, strategies to prevent multiple organ failure are possible. These include aggressive resuscitation of hemodynamically unstable patients, careful assessment to avoid missing clinically significant injuries, early operative treatment of all ...

Sepsis and Multiple Organ Failure

2016
Signs of sepsis are systematically present in each critically ill patient after a few days of stay in an intensive care unit.The associated metabolic response includes a rise in expended energy a few after its onset and changes in the use of energy substrates.

Sepsis and Multiple Organ Failure

2007
Sepsis and multiple organ failure are complex processes that result from dysregulation of the immune response and its associated hematological, hemodynamic and metabolic disturbances.Review of the pathophysiological basis for sepsis and a review of the literature on its mechanisms of expression.Sepsis is the host response to an injury, often infectious

Multiple System Organ Failure

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1988
Multiple system organ failure represents the final common pathway to a fatal outcome in severely infected patients. Despite the development of extensive support technology, the mortality rate in this group of patients remains high: in excess of 50 per cent. This rate underscores the need for newer treatment modalities.

The hypermetabolism organ failure complex

World Journal of Surgery, 1987
AbstractMultisystem organ failure remains the predominant cause of death in the surgical intensive care unit. What used to be thought of as isolated organ failure, such as adult respiratory distress syndrome, is now seen as part of the systemic response to injury and of a systemic injury and repair process.
