Emergencies: Specific Serious and High Complexity Infections
Emergency Room · Clinical Specialties
How it begins
La definición consensual de la Sepsis (Sepsis-3) la conceptualiza como una disfunción orgánica potencialmente mortal causada por una respuesta anómala o desregulada del huésped a una infección. El shock séptico representa un subgrupo de la sepsis en el que las alteraciones circulatorias, celulares y metabólicas son lo suficientemente profundas como para aumentar de manera significativa la mortalidad (superando el…
