Mismatch of the Oxygen Supply and Demand in Septic Shock

  • Conference paper
Septic Shock

Part of the book series: Update in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine ((UICM,volume 4))

Abstract

Patients requiring intensive care frequently develop disturbances in the function of several different organ systems [1, 2]. This “multiple organ failure” syndrome (MOF) often occurs during the course of acute respiratory failure [3–5] particularly in the presence of severe sepsis or subsequent to an episode of septic shock [6, 7]. In such cases, the likelihood of survival appears to be inversely related not only to the number of failing organs but also to the duration of the disturbance in their function [8].
