Serum Soluble Endoglin in Pediatric Septic Shock Associated Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome
Background: Endothelial activation is a key driver of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Soluble endoglin (sENG) is expressed by mature and progenitor endothelial cells and thought to have angiogenic properties.

An overview of the mechanisms and potential roles of extracellular vesicles in septic shock
Septic shock, a subset of sepsis, is a fatal condition associated with high morbidity and mortality. However, the pathophysiology of septic shock is not fully understood. Moreover, the diagnostic markers employed for identifying septic shock lack optimal

Consensus on circulatory shock and hemodynamic monitoring. Task force of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Circulatory shock is a life-threatening syndrome resulting in multiorgan failure and a high mortality rate. The aim of this consensus is to provide support to the bedside clinician regarding the diagnosis, management and monitoring of shock.

Abstract The problems associated with septic shock are highlighted, including those which arose during a 3-year prospective study. Mortality in the first year of the study was 71 per cent, falling to 38 per cent in the third year. The reasons, for this fall are detailed. The pattern of survival times changed over the 3 years, giving rise

Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock: Timing of Septic Shock Onset Matters
Introduction: Timing of septic shock onset may play a prognostic role in severe sepsis; however, clinical evidence provides contradictory results. This study aimed to investigate possible associations between timing of onset of septic shock and patient ...

Should Vasopressors Be Started Early in Septic Shock? [PDF]
Sepsis can influence blood volume, its distribution, vascular tone, and cardiac function. Persistent hypotension or the need for vasopressors after volume resuscitation is part of the definition of septic shock. Since increased positive fluid balance has
