Abstract

The development of organ failure may occur within the first days after trauma (early organ failure) or after one or two weeks (late organ failure) in ICU patients. The reaction that leads to organ damage and organ failure is a generalized inflammatory event [1]. This inflammation may be non-bacterial in the early stage of organ failure, and be aggravated by the influence of bacterial factors during the development of late organ failure. The non-bacterial inflammatory reaction is induced by the initial injury and is usually based on three factors: tissue ischemia/hypoxia, reperfusion events with generation of oxygen radicals; stimulation of phagocytes by complement split products or other humoral inflammatory factors; and the interaction with endothelial cells. This chapter focuses on PMN/endothelial activation with special emphasis on the PMN-endothelial interaction. The results of these events will be discussed in the trauma and the sepsis situation.
