Skeletal Muscle and Lymphocyte Mitochondrial Dysfunctions in Septic Shock Trigger ICU-Acquired Weakness and Sepsis-Induced Immunoparalysis
Fundamental events driving the pathological processes of septic shock-induced multiorgan failure (MOF) at the cellular and subcellular levels remain debated. Emerging data implicate mitochondrial dysfunction as a critical factor in the pathogenesis of sepsis-associated MOF. If macrocirculatory and microcirculatory dysfunctions undoubtedly participate in organ dysfunction at the early stage of s...

متن کاملC-reactive protein and procalcitonin as predictors of survival and septic shock in ventilator-associated pneumonia.
We evaluated the performance of procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) threshold values and kinetics as predictors of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) survival and septic shock development. 45 adult patients with VAP were studied. Serum CRP and PCT levels and the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score were measured on days 1, 4 and 7 (D1, D4, D7) of VAP and their variat...
متن کاملTime to initiation of treatment with polymyxin B cartridge hemoperfusion in septic shock patients.
BACKGROUND We investigated whether early initiation of hemoperfusion with a polymyxin B cartridge (PMX) after the diagnosis of septic shock could improve the clinical outcome. METHODS A prospective, open-labeled, multicenter cohort study was performed at intensive care units in Japan. 41 patients received PMX within 6 h after the diagnosis of septic shock (early group) and 51 patients were tr...

KEY POINTS • Shock is present when there is evidence of multisystem organ hypope fusion; it often presents as reduced mean blood pressure. • Initial resuscitation aims to establish an adequate airway, breathing, and circulation; a working diagnosis or clinical hypothesis of the cause of inadequate circulation should always be made immediately by physical examination and clinical presentation be...
