ABSTRACT
Despite major improvements in patients' management with severe sepsis, many of them will develop multiple organ failure and will subsequently die.
Infection, trauma, burns, surgery and cardiac compromise may increase the metabolic rate by 20%, resulting in higher oxygen utilization. Injury to the gut can also cause an additional release of inflammatory mediators. Tissue injury in sepsis is a consequence of progressive cellular death as a result of direct cytotoxic mediators that trigger apoptosis, or of cellular hypoxia developed as a result of abnormal oxygen delivery and utilization.
It has been suggested that inadequate splanchnic perfusion leads to gastrointestinal mucosal ischemia, which in turn leads increased permeability and bacterial/endotoxin translocation. It is postulated that this bacterial/endotoxin translocation may ultimately lead to multiple organ dysfunction. Adequate mucosal perfusion maintains the barrier function of the gastrointestinal tract. Loss of this barrier may allow bacteria and bacterial toxins to pass from the lumen of the gut into the systemic circulation, initiating or perpetuating septic events.
