Mechanism of Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome This entity is a luxury of our enlightened age. In the olden days people never survived long enough to develop this syndrome. The Definition: “in an acutely ill patient, the function in two or more organ systems altered such that homeostasis cannot be maintained without intervention” Mechanism of pathogenesis Genetic predisposition Triggering factors Local inflammation Eg. families with genetically low TNF- • Infection alpha levels, or high IL-10 levels • Aspiration • Burns Activation of the innate immune system • Pancreatitis • Massive transfusion Loss of immunological homeostasis: • Hyperthermia failure of anti-inflammatory regulatory • Malignancy mechanisms to contain the local • Hepatic failure inflammatory response • Cardiopulmonary bypass • Reperfusion injury • Visceral ischaemia • Global hypoxia TEndothelial dysfunction Tissue injury through hypoxia Mitochondrial dysfunction Apoptosis This means, The hypoxia is a result of multiple factors, The decrease in oxygen consumption may Not just mitochondrial lysis, but - increased endothelial permeability, be out of proportion to the decrease in also the various cytokines among which is poor lung function, poor - slowed microcirculation, cardiac output, microvascular insufficiency, oxygen delivery; this is “tissue dysoxia”. released as a part of a systemic - formation of microthrombi, and poor oxygen utilization at the level of It is due to Nitric Oxide and general inflammatory response will be - de-recruitment of capillaries the mitochondria. reactive oxygen species inhibiting the received as apoptotic signals by - and thus decreased tissue perfusion mitochondrial respiratory chain, as well as cells- particularly in the gut, liver, decreasing pyruvate delivery into the kidney and heart.

Physiologic Failure: Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome Timothy G. Buchman, Ph.D., M.D. Edison Professor of Surgery Professor of Anesthesiology and of Medicine Washington University School of Medicine St. Louis, Missouri 63110 [email protected] Acknowledgement: This work was supported, in part, by award GM48095 from the National Institutes of Health 2 Buchman Humans, like other life forms, can be viewed as thermodynamically open systems that continuously consume energy to maintain stability in the internal milieu in the face of ongoing environmental stress. In contrast to simple unicellular life forms such as bacteria, higher life forms must maintain stability not only in individual cells but also for the organism as a whole. To this end, a collection of physiologic systems evolved to process foodstuffs; to acquire oxygen and dispose of gaseous waste; to eliminate excess fluid and soluble toxins; and to perform other tasks. These systems—labeled respiratory, circulatory, digestive, neurological, and so on—share several features. • Physiological systems are spatially distributed. Food has to get from mouth to anus. Urine is made in the kidneys but has to exit the urethra. Blood may be pumped by the heart but has to reach the great toe. • Physiologic systems are generally spacefilling and structurally fractal. Each cell has demand for nutrients; each cell excretes waste. Information has to travel from the brain throughout the body. While not every physiologic system is self-similar at all levels of granularity, there is typically a nested architecture that facilitates function: microvillus to villus to intestinal mucosa; alveolus to alveolar unit to bronchial segment; capillary to arteriole to artery.

Sepsis-3 Definitions. What Are They, and How Should We Use Them?
Sepsis-3 definitions. What are they, and how should we use them? William T. Browne, MD, FCCM October 28, 2016 ACCP/SCCM Consensus Definitions • SIRS (Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) – Temperature > 38° C or < 36° C – Heart rate > 90 – Respiratory rate > 20 or pCO2 < 32 mm Hg – WBC > 12,000 or < 4,000 or > 10% bands • Any two of the criteria needed for SIRS diagnosis ACCP/SCCM Consensus Definitions • Sepsis – Must have diagnosis of SIRS – Clinical evidence of infection • bacteremia • infiltrate on CXR • abscess on imaging study ACCP/SCCM Consensus Definitions • Severe sepsis – must have diagnosis of sepsis – evidence of organ dysfunction • Organ dysfunction – increase in BUN/creatinine – elevated LFTs – hypoxia – elevated serum lactate ACCP/SCCM Consensus Definitions • Septic shock – must have findings of severe sepsis – hypotension after adequate fluid resuscitation – systolic BP 40 mm Hg below baseline – may not have hypotension if receiving pressor agents Was this a useful bedside tool? Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection Under these new definitions Sepsis(new) = Severe Sepsis(old) Key concepts of sepsis (1) • Sepsis is the primary cause of death from infection, especially if not recognized and treated promptly. Its recognition mandates urgent attention • Sepsis is a syndrome shaped by pathogen factors and host factors (eg, sex, race and other genetic determinants, age, comorbidities, environment) with characteristics that evolve over time. What differentiates sepsis from infection is an aberrant or dysregulated host response and the presence of organ dysfunction. Key concepts of sepsis (2) • Sepsis-induced organ dysfunction may be occult; therefore, its presence should be considered in any patient presenting with infection.

COVID-19 Recommendations for Health Care Workers (PDF)
MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH COVID-19 Recommendations for Health Care Workers 8 / 6 /2021 This guidance was updated on August 6, 2021, to include: . All health care workers, regardless of vaccination status, should be tested for SARS-CoV-2 when symptomatic, after a higher-risk exposure, and when working in a facility experiencing an outbreak. Post-exposure testing should occur immediately and at day 3–5 after exposure. Testing of HCW for COVID-19 Health care workers (HCW) should not work while sick, even if presenting with mild signs or symptoms. HCW with fever and/or respiratory symptoms that are concerning for COVID-19 should be tested for SARS-CoV-2 as soon as possible. HCW who have had unprotected exposure to a person with confirmed COVID-19 but remain asymptomatic should be tested immediately and 3–5 days following the date of exposure at a minimum. Specific routine staff testing is required or recommended by federal and/or state guidelines in skilled nursing or assisted living facilities. Please refer to the following guidance for detailed testing recommendations, which have been updated to discuss recommendations for vaccinated HCWs: . COVID-19 Testing Recommendations for Long-term Care Facilities (www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/hcp/ltctestrec.pdf) HCW with exposure to COVID-19 MDH and health care organizations cooperate to identify, manage, and monitor HCW who have experienced a high-risk (unprotected) exposure to a patient, resident, co-worker, or household/social contact with confirmed COVID-19. Most HCW who have had a high-risk exposure are identified through occupational tracking of personal protective equipment (PPE) breaches and/or contact tracing and assessment of PPE worn while in contact with a COVID-19 positive patient, resident, or co-worker.

Role of Kidney Injury in Sepsis Kent Doi
Doi Journal of Intensive Care (2016) 4:17 DOI 10.1186/s40560-016-0146-3 REVIEW Open Access Role of kidney injury in sepsis Kent Doi Abstract Kidney injury, including acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), has become very common in critically ill patients treated in ICUs. Many epidemiological studies have revealed significant associations of AKI and CKD with poor outcomes of high mortality and medical costs. Although many basic studies have clarified the possible mechanisms of sepsis and septic AKI, translation of the obtained findings to clinical settings has not been successful to date. No specific drug against human sepsis or AKI is currently available. Remarkable progress of dialysis techniques such as continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) has enabled control of “uremia” in hemodynamically unstable patients; however, dialysis-requiring septic AKI patients are still showing unacceptably high mortality of 60–80 %. Therefore, further investigations must be conducted to improve the outcome of sepsis and septic AKI. A possible target will be remote organ injury caused by AKI. Recent basic studies have identified interleukin-6 and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) as important mediators for acute lung injury induced by AKI. Another target is the disease pathway that is amplified by pre-existing CKD. Vascular endothelial growth factor and HMGB1 elevations in sepsis were demonstrated to be amplified by CKD in CKD-sepsis animal models. Understanding the role of kidney injury as an amplifier in sepsis and multiple organ failure might support the identification of new drug targets for sepsis and septic AKI. Keywords: Sepsis, Acute kidney injury, Chronic kidney disease, Lung injury, High mobility group box 1 Introduction ICUs is also increasing.

It is defined by brain dysfunction due to systemic inflammatory response syndrome and extracranial infection. Clinically, acute impairment in level of consciousness and confusion are primarily defining symptoms. Precise clinical evaluation of brain function is crucial, although the necessary diagnostic tools are limited and require further verification in clinical studies. Therefore, SE is often underestimated and not frequently diagnosed. This review gives an overview of clinical features, epidemiological data, pathophysiological processes, imaging and neuropathological findings as well as diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in SE patients

This approach was referred to as ‘‘permissive Resuscitation; hypovolaemia’’. Fluid therapy; Methods: Two cohorts of patients with burns >20% BSA without associated injuries Haemodynamics and admitted to ICU within 6 h from the thermal injury were compared. Patients were matched for both age and burn severity. The multiple-organ dysfunction score (MODS) by Marshall was calculated for 10 days after ICU admission. Permissive hypo- volaemia was administered by a haemodynamic-oriented approach throughout the first 24-h period. Haemodynamic variables, arterial blood lactates and net fluid balance were obtained throughout the first 48 h. Results: Twenty-four patients were enrolled: twelve of them received the Parkland Formula while twelve were resuscitated according to the permissive hypo- volaemic approach. Permissive hypovolaemia allowed for less volume infusion (3.2 ± 0.7 ml/kg/% burn versus 4.6 ± 0.3 ml/kg/% burn; P < 0.001), a reduced posi- tive fluid balance (+7.5 ± 5.4 l/day versus +12 ± 4.7 l/day; P < 0.05) and significantly lesser MODS Score values (P = 0.003) than the Parkland Formula.
