Characterization of Early Peripheral Immune Responses in Patients with Sepsis and Septic Shock

Biomedicines, 2022
(1) Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by an abnormal host response to infection that produces altered physiological responses causing tissue damage and can result in organ dysfunction and, in some cases, death.

Diagnostic value of Pentraxin-3 in patients with sepsis and septic shock in accordance with latest sepsis-3 definitions [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Pentraxin-3 (PTX-3) is an acute-phase protein involved in inflammatory and infectious processes. This study assesses its diagnostic and prognostic value in patients with sepsis or septic shock in a medical intensive care unit (ICU). Methods:

Septic Shock

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1989
Septic shock is a life-threatening condition that results from the combined effects of bacteria and the host's chemical mediators of inflammation. Of particular detriment is the hyperdynamic and hypodynamic vasomotor instability that severely compromises the patient prior to the onset of overt bacteremia.

Changes in Circulating Procalcitonin Versus C-Reactive Protein in Predicting Evolution of Infectious Disease in Febrile, Critically Ill Patients [PDF]

, 2013
Objective:Although absolute values for C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) are well known to predict sepsis in the critically ill, it remains unclear how changes in CRP and PCT compare in predicting evolution of: infectious disease ...

Tricuspid Annular Plane of Systolic Excursion for the Evaluation of Patients with Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock [PDF]

, 2020
Introduction: Sepsis is a systemic infection that can rapidly progress into multi organ failure and shock if left untreated. Previous studies have demonstrated the utility of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) in the evaluation of patients with sepsis ...
