Despite recent advances in the management of severe sepsis and septic shock, this condition continues to be the leading cause of death worldwide. Some experts usually consider sepsis as one of the most challenging syndromes because of its multiple presentations and the variety of its complications. Various investigators from all over the world got their chance in this book to provide important information regarding this deadly disease . We hope that the efforts of these investigators will result in a useful way to continue with intense work and interest for the care of our patients.

The European Society of Intensive Care and the European Shock Society selected a group of expert scientists and clinicians in the field of septic shock to define the acquired knowledge, the present controversies and the priorities for future research. This conference was held in Brussels on March 1-2, 1987. The reports of the discussion have been collected in this "state of the art" update on septic shock.

Septic shock remains a serious medical condition with high mortality. Despite many advances in intensive care medicine and antibiotic devel- ment, this has not changed appreciably in the last 20 years. Frustratingly, over the same period of time, enormous advances have been made in understa- ing the underlying pathogenic mechanisms of this condition. This has resulted in the development of several novel therapies for septic shock, which, despite excellent theoretical grounds for their efficacy, have failed in altering mort- ity attributable to sepsis. The reasons for these failures are multiple, but it is clear that further research is required aimed at increasing our understanding of the basic pat- physiological processes that occur following infection. Research into septic shock draws upon a number of different disciplines, ranging from molecular and cellular biology to physiological measurements on whole animals. Septic Shock Methods and Protocols is an attempt to draw together into one volume a number of protocols that are of use in the investigation of the mechanisms of septic shock. I have divided the book into five sections. The first deals with endotoxin, the lipopolysaccharide component of the Gram-negative cell m- brane that can mimic many of the features of septic shock. Gram-positive organisms are found increasingly as causes of septic shock, and several - pects of toxins produced from these bacteria are considered in the second s- tion.

Septic shock is a common and lethal condition that remains one of the leading causes of death in the hospital. Greater awareness, understanding of the condition and knowledge of effective management may decrease the mortality rate. In this book, the authors discuss the symptoms, management and risk factors of septic shock. Topics include the pathophysiology of cardiovascular failure in septic shock; life threatening infections and septic shock during idiopathic drug-induced agranulocytosis; the role of HMGB1 in cardiac dysfunction during septic shock; the epidemiological impact of sepsis and septic shock; and possible implications for the treatment of septic patients with interventions aimed at opening microcirculation.

Sepsis is one of the most frequent complications in the surgical patient and one of the leading causes of mortality in intensive care units. During the past two decades, a great deal has been learned about surgical bacteriology, antibiotic prophylaxis, supportive management, and the host response to microbial invasion. Sepsis can be caused by infection with gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, fungi (and particularly Candida), or viruses. Sepsis may also occur in the absence of detectable bacterial invasion, and in these cases, microbial toxins, particularly gram-negative bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS), and endogenous cytokine production have been implicated as initiators and mediators. Although activation of the immune system during microbial invasion is generally protective, septic shock develops in a significant number of patients as a consequence of a poorly regulated immune response to the offending organism. Sepsis can be presented with a spectrum of severity. Septic shock represents the most severe form of host response to infection. The aim of this monograph is to summarise the currently available data regarding epidemiology, pathogenesis, and optimal management of septic shock, with a particular emphasis on the role of source control in sepsis. Emerging therapies for septic shock are also discussed.

Severe sepsis and septic shock are the most serious compli cations of bacterial infections. Both gram-positive and gram negative bacteria can trigger these extreme inflammatory re sponses and, by so doing, cause substantial morbidity and mortality. In the United States alone, over 400 000 patients suffer from septicaemia each year, and approximately 100 000 of these patients die despite optimal intensive care and modern antimicrobial therapy. These dramatic figures have prompted intensive research to define the bacterial and host factors involved in the septic response. Scientists from many disciplines, including chem istry, physics, biology, medical microbiology, immunology, and pharmacology, have worked closely with clinicians to achieve rapid and profound progress. To translate this newly acquired knowledge into clinical practice, clinical trials have also been performed to evaluate numerous new therapeutic drugs. The disappointing results from these trials have underscored a major lesson, namely, that sepsis constitutes an extremely complex syndrome and that basic and clinical research must be greatly intensified in order to illuminate its molecular mechan isms. At this stage, the editors of the present volume of Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology considered it would be rewarding to compile a volume summarizing our present basic and clinical knowledge on sepsis. Our particular gratitude extends to those international experts who have followed our invitation and elaborated on particular areas of the basic and clinical aspects of this field.

Shock is caused by the decreased flow of blood to the body tissues due to circulatory system related problems. Sepsis refers to a life-threatening condition where the body causes injury to its own organs and tissues in response to an infection. When sepsis lowers the blood pressure to the extent where it does not improve after fluid replacement, it is known as septic shock. Sepsis happens due to an inflammatory immune response which is triggered by an infection. Septic shock is usually caused by bacteria but it can also be caused by fungi, parasites or viruses. It generally affects the lungs, urinary tract, brain or skin. Fever, increased breathing and heart rate, and confusion are some of its common signs and symptoms. Severe sepsis results in organ dysfunction and poor blood flow. This book provides significant information to help develop a good understanding of sepsis and septic shock. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies have been included herein. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.

Sepsis and septic shock are global health crises affecting millions of people every year. One person dies every 2.8 seconds due to sepsis and septic shock complications. Twenty percent of all deaths worldwide are associated with sepsis, septic shock and its complications. A delay in detecting and treating sepsis and septic shock increases the risk of mortality. This book simplifies the detection and management of sepsis and septic shock to ensure that this clinical emergency is diagnosed and managed earlier. This septic shock book is composed of chapters that are related to the diagnosis, effects on various organs, and management of sepsis and septic shock. It is well-written by experts from their respective fields and different clinical settings. The chapters are written in simple and understandable language. This book will help increase the awareness of sepsis, and it will be equally helpful to medical and paramedical staff, as well as juniors and experts in the field of the management of sepsis and septic shock.
