Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS)
Definition
Dysfunction or failure of multiple organ or system happened simultaneously or sequentially due to various etiological factors.
Etiology
Infection: Gram positive/negative bacteria, fungal, Virus Shock, hemorrhage, etc. Allergy Burns Trauma Severe acute pancreatitis
Classification of MODS
Immediate Type (Primary):Dysfunction is happened simultaneously in two or more organs due to primary disease. Delayed type (Secondary ) Dysfunction happened in a organ, other organs : sequentially happened dysfunction or failure. Accumulation type:Dysfunction leaded by chronic disease.
Mechanism Common Manifestations of MODS Diagnosis of Criteria
Organ/ system dysfunction and failure GLASGOW SCORE
Treatments of MODS
Combined therapy
Correction of ischemia: fluid resuscitation, mechanical ventilation Prevention of infection:drainage, antibiotics Interruption of pathological reaction:hemofiltration Stabilization of internal environment:water, electrolyte, acid-base imbalance Regulation of immunity:cellular and humor Support of organ function

Artificial kidney Artificial liver Protection of enteral mucosa Drugs of protection of heart
Acute Renal Failure (ARF)
Definition
Characterized by ineffective filtration across glomeruli in short time. Such as azotemia, imbalance of water, electrolyte and acid-base.
Etiology and classification
• Prerenal Proximal to kidney Decrease in renovascular flow 1. Hypovolemia, severe cardiac dysfunction, loss of vascular tone, drugs (renal vasoconstriction), renal artery occlusion 2. Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS) 3. 50% of the ARF • Postrenal Distal to kidney. Obstruction of urinary flow 1. Collecting system 2. Ureters: tumor, stone, etc. 3. Bladder outlet (strictures, prostatism) • Intrinsic renal Renal parenchyma injury (glomerular filtration ) Renal tubular dysfunction Both 1. Acute glomerulonephritis 2. ATN : renal ischemia(hemorrhage,septic,shock,serum anaphylaxis); nephrotoxins (aminoglycosides, radiocontrast dye, pigments, biotoxins, polymyxin) 3. Acute interstitial nephritis
Mechanism
• Oliguria and anuria stage(<400ml/24h or <100ml/24h) Renal ischemia 1. Decrease in glomeruli filtration(systolic blood pressure < 8kpa; decrease in endothelia permeability after ischemia; constriction of renal artery. ) 2. ATN(stasis of blood in medulla)
3. Glomeruli-tubule feedback ischemia → Na+re-absorption decrease ( in medullary loop and distal convoluted tubule → Na+ increase in para-macula densa →renin release → afferent Arteriole of glomerulus spasm ) Reperfusion-ischemia injury: oxygen free radicals injure cells Degeneration and necrosis of tubulus endothelium:ischemia→ATP →disorders of transport function →accumulation of sodium and calcium, loss of potassium→ degeneration of endoplasmic reticulum, accumulation of matrix protein → renal tubular necrosis Obstruction of renal tubulus 1. mucousa and cells 2. filtration pressure 3. hemoglobin and myoglobin Infection and drugs 1. Infection leading to decrease in renal blood flow 2. Drugs: amine, rifampicin, polymyxin Non-oliguria acute renal failure 1. Discrepancy of renal tubulus and glomeruli of change 2. Normal blood flow in some renal unit • Urorrhagia stage(>800ml/24h )
Glomerular filtrate not concentrated:un-recovery from resorption and concentrated function of renal tubulus re-epithelia Osmotic diuresis: large amount of BUN accumulated in body during anuria stage. Water diuresis:much electrolyte and water excess during anuria stage aggravate uresis.
Clinical manifestation
Anuria stage: (7-14 days,the longest is more than one month)
Urine : (hypobaric and fixed; albuminuria; red cells and cast) Imbalance of water, electrolyte and acid-base. Three increase :blood phosphorus, potassium, magnesium Three decrease: blood calcium, sodium, chloride Two intoxication:metabolic acidosis, water toxication Accumulation of metabolic products-uremia(azotemia, phenol, guanidine, etc.) :
Nausea , vomiting Headache , restless, weakness, unconsciousness, coma Hemorrhagic tendency(decrease in platelet function, increase in capillary fragility, hepatic dysfunction, DIC ) : Subcutaneous hemorrhage Oral mucosa and gingiva bleeding Gastrointestinal bleeding Wounds bleeding Urorrhagia stage(14 days) : Mode of urine recovery Increase Abruptly: usually in 5-7th day,urine output increases to 1500ml/24h abruptly. Increase gradually:Usually in 7-14th day,urine output increases to 200-500ml/24h Increase tardily:When urine output increases to 500 - 700ml/24h , stopping increasing. Prognosis is poor. Imbalance of water, electrolyte; and azotemia still exist. Complicating with infection easily Stage of recovery(several months) : anemia weakness Wasting
Diagnosis
History and physical examination Etiology Whether prerenal factors exist Whether postrenal factors exist Examination of urine Record urine output per hour Acid urine, specific gravity stabilizes at the range of 1.010-1.014 Microscopic examination More red cells and renal tubulus epithelia ( cortex and medulla necrosis) Lenity brown cast(renal failure cast) Acidophilic cell increase(interstitial nephritis) Red cell cast(glomerular nephritis) Non apparent abnormality( early stage with prerenal or postrenal failure) Examination of renal function Urine BUN decrease, less than 180mmol/24h usually. Urine sodium increase, more than 175mmol/24h.
Fractional excretion of filtrated sodium is more than 1.5 FE Na(%)=(U Na/P Na)×(P Cr /U Cr)×100 Urine osmolality Less than 350 mOsm/L in ARF More than 500mOsm/L in prerenal failure or glomerular nephritis Serum BUN, Cr:elevating for 3.8-9.4 mmol/L/d Plasma/urine Cr>20 Renal failure index (RFI) RFI= U Na×( P Cr / U Cr ) RFI>1.5: ARF RFI<1: Prerenal oliguria Renal and prerenal oliguria Renal and postrenal 1. Renal ultrasound(nephrauxe, ureter expansion) 2. Plain abdominal X-ray(calcification, stone or obstruction) 3. intravenously pyelography ( IVP) 4. Retrograde pyelography
Treatment
Oliguria or anuria stage Control fluid input: body weight is decreased 0.5kg daily. Output is input, less input is better than the more Fluid amount daily=dominance loss+non-dominance loss endogeny water Nutrition Less protein, high calorie, high vitamin diet Protein synthesis hormone: GH, testosterone Corection of electrolyte imbalance (hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, hypocalcemia, acidosis) Antibiotics:harmful to kidney Blood purification 1. hemodialysis : artificial kidney. High clearance rate for hemodynamics unstable •
-
small molecules;
1. peritonealdialysis:small molecular substances; infection; low clearance rate 1. hemofiltration:high clearance rate for middle molecules; hemodynamics stable Urorrhagia stage Infuse optimal fluid,avoiding loss of extra cellular fluid Fluid infusion is 1/3~1/2 fluid output equivalently. Correction of electrolyte Infuse sodium and potassium according to determination of electrolyte daily. •
Increase amount protein. Treat infection actively
Prophylaxis
• To diagnose volume deficient timely Perform fluid test first when oliguria existed To treat according to fluid deficient To correct water and electrolyte imbalance in patients with trauma and pre-operation Management of xenotype blood infusion To rise pH values in urine for alkali Mannitol for diuresis Restrict inotropic agents Norepinephrine pressor agent Treatments of DIC Heparin

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
Definition
Acute pulmonary dysfunction originating from diffuse infiltration and pulmonary compliance decreased leading to severe hypoxia. ARDS is an inflammatory process Not a accumulation of edema fluid Both lungs • Predisposing conditions – Injury Lung injury:lung contusion, smoke, aspiration of gastric contents, toxic gas, drowning, oxygen Extra-lung injury: fractures, trauma, burns, massive transfusion, amniotic fluid thrombosis, transplantation Operation: cardiopulmonary bypass, major operation – Infection: sepsis/septic shock – Shock and DIC
Mechanism
Initial stage Pulmonary capillary permeability lung parenchyma edema. Erythrocytes exudates Leukocytes infiltrate to deterioration of cellular damages Pulmonary vasoconstriction, thrombosis, A-V shunt. Alveoli Edema DPL Hyaline and bloody fluid Hyaline and bloody fluid in bronchia→ flake atelectasis Advanced stage Pulmonary parenchyma inflammation aggravated Complicating with infection Final stage Pulmonary fibrosis Capillary vessels occlusion Afterload rise, hypoxia
Clinical manifestations
Initial stage Tachypnea, refractory to supplemental oxygen Progressive hypoxemia No rales Unrevealing in chest X-ray 2. Advanced stage Prominent dyspnea and cyanosis Need mechanical ventilation Rales; bronchi secretion rise Chest X-ray: bilateral infiltrates Conscious disturbance Temperature and leukocytes rise 3. Final stage Arrhythmia→ bradycardia →cardiac arrest Deep coma Diagnosis • Predisposing conditions Acute injury
Systemic infection RR>30 Dyspnea Transplantation Exclude other conditions
Diagnostic Criteria Therapy & Treatment
• Correction of hypoxemia quickly – Mechanical ventilation earlier – Optimal PEEP, recovery of alveolar function and functional residual capacity – Open lung
Recovery of circulation and prevention of pulmonary interstitial edema – Optimal colloid and crystal fluid ratio – Optimal diuretics – Optimal negative fluid balance (To evaluate by CVP/PAWP, urine and rales) • Treatment of infection: -sputum drainage; antibiotics • Block SIRS – Glucocorticosteroid earlier – Inflammatory mediators inhibitor:Ibuprofen, oxpentifylline, TNF Ab. – Heparin – Hemofiltration • Mechanical ventilation Ventilatory mode: positive ventilation PEEP: the optimal Prevention of hypovolemia: prevention of imbalance of V/Q Barotrauma: PIP ≤50cmH2O
