Septic Shock

Abstract: Although our understanding of molecular events in septic shock is growing exponentially, bedside management has changed only incrementally over the last 20 years. In pediatric and adult patients alike, treatment continues to be largely supportive. Morbidity and mortality, though gradually improving, continue to be high. The major similarities, as well as the minor differences, between pediatric and adult septic shock are reviewed in this article, with an emphasis on current clinical practice and recent clinica… Show more

“…Akut enflamatuvar yanıt sırasın-da plazma aminoasit dönüşümünün yüksek olduğu gösterilmiştir (11,20,23,27) . Bu yüksek plazma aminoasit dönüşümü endojen mediyatörler tarafından uyarılan enflamatuvar ve hipermetabolik durum ile açıklana-bilir (10) . Vücut protein yıkımının artması sonucu endojen aminoasitlerin plazmaya geçişi artar (1) .…”

“…En el momento actual, por la aparición de cepas de estafilococos resistentes a antibióticos, la incidencia de sepsis causada por ambos tipos de gérmenes parece haberse igualado en la mayoría de los hospitales. La sepsis y el shock séptico, por último, también pueden ser causados por virus, hongos, Rickettsias, protozoos o metazoos (15).…”

“…Principles of management of septic shock have been published elsewhere. [94][95][96] Volume deficits are often massive due to external and interstitial fluid loss, combined with peripheral vasodilation and venous pooling. Vasopressor therapy is usually required.…”

“…If there is any doubt of the adequacy of adrenal function, an empirical dose of dexamethasone, (4 mg Q6H iv ), may be given, pending the performance of an ACTH stimulation test. 95 Renal failure occurs early in the course of STSS. 1 Serum potassium must be monitored carefully and dialysis may be required.…”
