SEPSIS AND THE TRAUMA PATIENT
SEPSIS AND THE TRAUMA PATIENT CRITICAL CARE CLINICS McGuire, G. P., Pearl, R. G. 1990; 6 (1): 121-146Abstract
Conventional therapy for septic shock concentrates on correcting circulatory perfusion defects by optimizing hemodynamic parameters and oxygen delivery to the periphery. In the face of ongoing sepsis, the central abnormality of nutrient acquisition and energy production at the cellular level remains and the patient often progresses to MSOF despite our best efforts. Currently, surgical drainage and antibiotic therapy are the mainstays for eradication of infection. In the future, as we understand more of the mediators and metabolic consequences of septic shock, we anticipate that a more specific, directed therapy will be developed to reduce the high mortality rate.
