[PREDICTORS OF UNFAVORABLE OUTCOME IN PATIENTS WITH ABDOMINAL SEPSIS.]
Objective:
The study focuses on identifying predictors of treatment outcome in abdominal sepsis (AS) in humans.
Subjects And Methods:
70 patients underwent determination of blood pressure, heart rate, SpO , the content of leu- kocytes, albumin, C-reactive protein, fibrinogen and TNF-a in arterial (femoral artery) and venous (subclavian vein) blood. Automatic biochemical analyzer Cobas-Integra 400 ('Roche", Switzerland), the test system Microlab STAR ELISA kit reagents "alpha TNF - ELISA - best" were used during the research. System statistical analysis included paired comparison of patients with favorable (n=27) and lethal (n=43) outcome, correlation, cluster; discriminating analysis, multidimensional scaling and plotting ROC curves with sensitivity and specificity indicators predictive value.
Results:
Identfied predictors of outcome inpatients,from which to form a predictive model of CRP fibrinogen, albumin, and TNF-a arterial blood. It is established that if the basic treatment of the patient CRP <9,8 g/l,fibrinogen >3,43 g/l, albumin <28,9 gl and TNF-a <499,3 ng/ml, the probability of death was statistically significantly higher thanfavorable.
Conclusion:
It is assumed that therapeutic measures should be aimed at correction of the above mentioned indicators.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
