Endotoxin in newborn septic shock: significance, metabolic, and cardiovascular changes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The role of endotoxin in newborn septic shock is reviewed. Metabolic and cardiovascular changes, as known to us, are described with special emphasis that the newborn is not a "small adult." Developmental or maturational changes are hypothesized to be the major cause of these differences between age groups. Finally, it is our belief that newborn septic shock is an important topic for further investigation.

Endotoxin and tumor necrosis factor challenges in dogs simulate the cardiovascular profile of human septic shock
Survivors of both human and animal bacterial shock develop a characteristic pattern of progressive changes in cardiovascular function over a period of 7-10 d. In this present study, we examined whether endotoxin (a product of Gram-negative bacteria) or TNF (a cytokine released from macrophages) could reproduce the same complex cardiovascular changes observed in septic shock over a period of 7-1...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa compared with Escherichia coli produces less endotoxemia but more cardiovascular dysfunction and mortality in a canine model of septic shock.
We investigated the effects of two different Gram-negative bacteria and radiation-induced leukopenia on endotoxemia, cardiovascular abnormalities, and mortality in a canine model of septic shock. Serial hemodynamics were measured in conscious dogs using radionuclide heart scans and thermodilution cardiac output catheters. Plasma endotoxin concentrations were determined with a chromogenic Limulu...

Using different types of bacteria and a canine model simulating human septic shock, we investigated the role of endotoxin in cardiovascular dysfunction and mortality. Either Escherichia coli (a microorganism with endotoxin) or Staphylococcus aureus (a microorganism without endotoxin) were placed in an intraperitoneal clot in doses of viable or formalin-killed bacteria. Cardiovascular function o...

In patients with Gram-negative bacterial infection, the administration of appropriate antibiotics is well recognized as an important chemotherapeutic strategy to reduce morbidity and mortality. The requisite use of antibiotics, however, is thought to contribute, in some cases, to serious side effects such as endotoxin shock, because of the release of biologically active endotoxin from the bacte...

INTRODUCTION The accuracy and clinical applicability of an improved model-based system for tracking hemodynamic changes is assessed in an animal study on septic shock. METHODS This study used cardiovascular measurements recorded during a porcine trial studying the efficacy of large-pore hemofiltration for treating septic shock. Four Pietrain pigs were instrumented and induced with septic shoc...
