Relationship of systemic inflammatory response syndrome to organ dysfunction, length of stay, and mortality in critical surgical illness: effect of intensive care unit …
M Talmor, L Hydo, PS Barie - Archives of Surgery, 1999 - jamanetwork.com
Background A systemic proinflammatory response has been implicated in the pathogenesis
of organ dysfunction. The effects of surgery, surgical stress, anesthesia, and subsequent
intensive care unit (ICU) resuscitation may affect the components of the systemic
inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) score (temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, and
white blood cell count). Any SIRS scores calculated within 24 hours after surgery or at the
onset of nonoperative resuscitation may overestimate the proinflammatory response itself …
