Biliary tract infections causing septic shock, often due to gallstones, require prompt surgical intervention. Early operation for acute biliary septic shock can significantly improve survival rates.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Infections
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Biliary tract infections can lead to severe sepsis and septic shock.
  • Gallstones are a common underlying cause of biliary sepsis.
  • Acute biliary septic shock presents a significant clinical challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the characteristics and outcomes of patients with biliary tract infection and septic shock.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of emergency surgical management.
  • To highlight the importance of early diagnosis and intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 47 cases of biliary tract infection with septic shock.
  • Analysis of causative factors, including empyema of the gallbladder and cholangitis.

  • Assessment of surgical management strategies and patient outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • Gallstones were the most frequent cause of sepsis.
    • High incidence of gallbladder rupture (10.6%) and intrahepatic stones (53.2%).
    • Emergency surgery involving stone removal and drainage of suppuration was the primary treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Acute biliary septic shock necessitates a comprehensive diagnostic approach including underlying biliary disease.
    • Prompt surgical intervention is crucial for improving survival.
    • Delayed operations were associated with increased mortality in this series.
