What's New in Paediatric Sepsis.
Severe sepsis and septic shock remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in children. There is ongoing uncertainty regarding the optimal treatment pathways however the initial management of sepsis is crucial. This article is designed to be an informal and personal review of recent developments in paediatric sepsis over the past 3 years.
متن کاملCARING FOR THE CRITICALLY ILL PATIENT Efficacy and Safety of Tifacogin (Recombinant Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor) in Severe Sepsis A Randomized Controlled Trial
SYSTEMIC ACTIVATION OF COAGUlation and thrombus formation in the microvasculature accompanies organ dysfunction and excess mortality in severe sepsis. Tissue factor (thromboplastin) is a major initiator of the blood coagulation process. Tissue factor is a transmembrane cell surface receptor for plasma clotting factor VII and exhibits homolAuthor Affiliations, Financial Disclosure, and the OPTIM...
متن کاملThe role of biomarkers in community-acquired pneumonia: predicting mortality and response to adjunctive therapy
Patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in the hospital setting exhibit markedly abnormal levels of various biomarkers of infection, inflammation and coagulation. CAP is a well characterized disease, relatively homogeneous and amenable to management according to defined protocols. Hence, this group of patients represents an opportunity to investigate further these biomarkers as a means...
متن کاملBeyond antibiotics in severe community-acquired pneumonia: the role and rationale for tissue factor pathway inhibition
Despite effective antibiotic therapy, about one-third of patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and organ dysfunction die within a month. This high death rate demonstrates the need for additional interventions. Both animal models and clinical data suggest that pathological expression of tissue factor (TF), with consequent activation of c...

1147 December 2014 D ESPITE advances in understanding of septic shock, the mortality related to this syndrome remains high.1 Sepsis is an infection associated with a systemic inflammatory response. A better understanding of signaling pathways triggered by pathogens in the host immune cells may help to identify targets for novel therapeutic approaches.1 In this issue of AnESThESIology, gong et a...
