Abstract Background: Sepsis and septic shock are major contributors to global morbidity and mortality. The “cytokine storm,” a hyper-inflammatory response, plays a central role in sepsis pathophysiology, leading to multi-organ..

Abstract Mixed shock has been identified by the Shock Academic Research Consortium (SHARC) as a “high-risk, understudied population”. It develops in around one-quarter of patients with cardiogenic shock and has a higher..

Abstract Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy is a severe complication seen in patients with refractory septic shock, characterized by cardiac dysfunction due to an overwhelming inflammatory response secondary to infection. Despite its reversible..

Abstract Predictive scoring systems for adult patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support for sepsis have not been yet reported. Based on the Chinese Society of ExtraCorporeal Life Support (CSECLS)..

Abstract Background Sepsis is the result of a dysregulated immune response to infection and is associated with acute organdysfunction. The syndrome’s complexity is contingent upon the underlying pathology and individual..

Abstract Sepsis is a dysregulated host response to infection responsible for life-threatening organ dysfunction.1  Along with early antimicrobial administration and source control, correction of hemodynamic derangements is a crucial aspect of..

Abstract Physiological hemostasis is a balance between pro- and anticoagulant pathways, and in sepsis, this equilibrium is disturbed, resulting in systemic thrombin generation, impaired anticoagulant activity, and suppression of fibrinolysis,..

Abstract Sepsis is a life-changing condition that can occur  undergoing . It is characterized by a dysregulated inflammatory response to infection, often leading to higher rates of organ dysfunction and mortality. The..

Abstract Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly utilized for pediatric sepsis unresponsive to steroids and inotropic support. Outcomes of children with sepsis are influenced by the type of pathogen causing..

Abstract Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induces an acute inflammatory response that may lead to a systemic inflammatory response syndrome. The interest in procalcitonin (PCT) in the diagnosis of..

Abstract Septic shock is a major burden to healthcare with mortality rates remaining high. Blood purification techniques aim to reduce cytokine levels and resultant organ failure. Regarding septic shock, hemoadsorption..

Abstract The primary focus of research into the pathophysiology of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has been on the interaction between the lung, underlying causes of ARDS, and the..
