[Clinical pathogenetic types of blood-peritoneal barrier damage in abdominal sepsis]
Abstract:
Many authors point to the peritoneum-blood barrier damage factor in the pathogenesis of abdominal sepsis and peritonitis. The study was undertaken to define the types of blood-peritoneal barrier damage, by providing evidence for a differential approach to intensive care. For this, immunochemical permeability markers and the clinical and laboratory criteria for sepsis were studied in 106 patients. The patients with generalized peritonitis from the sepsis group showed a compensated type of barrier damage. Those with septic shock exhibited its decompensated type. The described types may serve as a criterion for the differential correction of intensive care in abdominal sepsis.
