Introduction[edit | edit source]

Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is a systemic, dysfunctional inflammatory response that requires long intensive care unit (ICU) stay. It is characterized with high mortality rate depending on the number of organs involved.

It has been recognized that organ failure does not occur as an all-or-none rule, but rather a range of organ dysfunction exists resulting in clinical organ failure.[1]

Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome is the clinical consequence of a dysregulated inflammatory response, triggered by clinically diverse factors with the main pillar of management being invasive organ support.

During the last years, the advances in the clarification of the molecular pathways that trigger, mitigate, and determine the outcome of MODS have led to the increasing recognition of MODS as a distinct disease entity with distinct etiology, pathophysiology, and potential future therapeutic interventions.

Given the lack of effective treatment for MODS, its early recognition, the early intensive care unit admission, and the initiation of invasive organ support remain the most effective strategies of preventing its progression and improving outcomes[2].

Causes[edit | edit source]

Almost any disease that results in tissue injury may result in MODS

Sepsis; Major trauma; Burns; Pancreatitis; Aspiration syndromes; Extracorporeal circulation (e.g. cardiac bypass); Multiple blood transfusion; Ischaemia–reperfusion injury; Autoimmune disease; Heat-induced illness; Eclampsia; Poisoning/toxicity[3]

Injury>> shock >> whole body hypoperfusion >> resuscitation >> reperfusion of ischaemic gut >> release of cytokines (IL6, IL8

and IL10) >> proinflammatory lipids and proteins from the reperfused splanchnic bed >> these mediators return to vascular

circulation via lymphatics >> prime PMNs >> PMNs mobilise into vascular circulation >> a significant neutrophillia at 3 h

postinjury >> ‘‘vulnerable window’’ >> A second hit during this period??: cipitate MOF, eutrophillia normally

resolves without endorgan damage.
