The Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, Sepsis, and Septic Shock
Systemic proinflammatory responses are involved in the pathogenesis of organ dysfunction. The effects of surgery, surgical stress, anesthesia, and subsequent resuscitation in the intensive care unit (ICU) affect the components of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) score (body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, and white blood cell count). May give SIRS scores calculated within 24 hours of surgery or at the start of non-surgical resuscitation may overestimate the proinflammatory response itself, making SIRS quantification overly sensitive at this time. . We hypothesized that SIRS attributable to ICU resuscitation can be quantified and that SIRS after the first day of ICU treatment correlates with multiple outcomes. Quantify systemic inflammatory response syndrome resulting from surgery or surgical stress. Twenty-four hour resuscitation in the intensive care unit reduced SIRS scores. The magnitude of the proinflammatory response on his second day in the ICU may be a useful predictor of the outcome of critical surgical disease. Although still in clinical use, it is important to note that the definition of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) has been abandoned since 2016. This is mainly due to the poor mortality prediction of SIRS alone compared to sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA). Additionally, sepsis has been redefined as requiring organ dysfunction. In 2016, the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) led a working group to propose a new definition of sepsis. Sepsis-3 was born and defined as "a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by dysregulation of the host's response to infection." Release of IL1 and TNF-α leads to the dissociation of nuclear factor kB (NF-kB) from its inhibitors. Therefore, NF-kB can induce massive release of other proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, IL-8, and interferon gamma.IL-6 regulates procalcitonin and C-reactive protein. Induces release of acute phase reactants including With TNF-α and thus IL-6 and IL-8. Another potent pro-inflammatory cytokine is the high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein, which has been implicated in delaying the cytotoxic response in SIRS and sepsis. It was established as an independent predictor of 1-year mortality in an observational study of patients with traumatic brain injury. Like most other early responses in SIRS, alterations in the coagulation pathway are triggered by IL-1 and TNF-α. Fibrinolysis is affected by activation of the plasminogen activator inhibitor. Direct endothelial damage occurs and tissue factor is released which initiates the clotting cascade. Anti-inflammatory mediators activated protein C and antithrombins are also inhibited. Consequently, there is widespread microvascular thrombosis, increased capillary permeability, and fragility and impairment of tissue perfusion, contributing to progressive organ dysfunction. Compensatory anti-inflammatory responses are mediated by the interleukins IL-4 and IL-10, which tend to inhibit the production of TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, and IL-8. The balance of SIRS and CARS determines where the continuum from SIRS to MODS ends. Left unchecked, survivors are exposed to long-term immunosuppression. Individuals may therefore become more susceptible to nosocomial infections and restart the sepsis cascade. Once the etiology of SIRS is identified early, investigations are individualized for the organs of interest. In the absence of an obvious source of infection, priority is given to time-sensitive searches for sources of infection. U.S. health care facilities and associations guidelines recommend that blood, sputum, urine, and other overt wound specimens be routinely collected and cultured within 1 hour of examination and prior to initiating antimicrobial therapy.
