Plasma procalcitonin in sepsis and organ failure.
INTRODUCTION Because the use of procalcitonin (PCT) as a marker of bacterial infection has been advocated, this study was carried out to determine the usefulness of plasma PCT in the early diagnosis and differentiation of patients with non-infectious systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) from those with sepsis, and the relationship between plasma PCT level and severity of organ failure...
متن کاملProlonged lymphopenia, lymphoid depletion, and hypoprolactinemia in children with nosocomial sepsis and multiple organ failure.
Lymphopenia and lymphoid depletion occur in adults dying of sepsis. Prolactin increases Bcl-2 expression, suppresses stress-induced lymphocyte apoptosis, and improves survival from experimental sepsis. We hypothesized that prolonged lymphopenia, lymphoid depletion, and hypoprolactinemia occur in children dying with sepsis and multiple organ failure (MOF). Fifty-eight critically ill children wit...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of drotrecogin alfa (activated) in the treatment of severe sepsis with multiple organ failure.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to estimate the expected cost and clinical benefits associated with the use of drotrecogin alfa (activated) (Xigris; Eli Lilly and Company; Indianapolis, IN) in the French hospital setting. METHODS The recombinant human activated PROtein C Worldwide Evaluation in Severe Sepsis (PROWESS) study results (1271 patients with multiple organ failure) were adjuste...
متن کاملMetabolic support in sepsis and multiple organ failure.
The metabolic support of critically ill patients is a relatively new topic of active research and discussion, and surprisingly little is known about the effects of critical illness on metabolic physiology and activity. The metabolic changes seen in critical illness are highly complex, and how and when to treat them are only just beginning to be determined. Studies have demonstrated that the acu...
متن کاملPeripheral nerve function in sepsis and multiple organ failure.
Forty-three patients who had sepsis and multiple organ failure (critical illness) were studied prospectively to determine the incidence and severity of peripheral nerve function and to correlate such function with a number of variables. Electrophysiologic studies indicated a primary axonal degeneration of motor and sensory fibers in 30 (70 percent). Fifteen (30 percent) had the clinical signs o...
