Multiple Organ Failure: Is It Only Hypoxia?

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Update in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine ((UICM,volume 12))

Abstract

Multiple organ failure persists as a major cause of morbidity and mortality in surgical patients with a mortality rate in the 50–60% range and intensive care unit stays of three to four weeks or longer [1]. With the advent of modern Intensive Care Unit (ICU) care, the outcome improved. For the last several years, however, there has been no improvement in spite of better modes of ventilation, antibiotics, nutrition and metabolic support, gut decontamination, and better technology for the care of the critically ill and injured [2].
