Summary

Surgical sepsis from abdominal gunshot wounds presents significant challenges. Management includes mechanical ventilation, PEEP, antibiotics, and supportive care, with some patients developing acute renal insufficiency and ARDS.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Sepsis following abdominal gunshot wounds is a life-threatening condition.
  • Management requires intensive care and multidisciplinary approaches.
  • Complications such as ARDS and acute renal insufficiency are common.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore therapeutic strategies for surgical patients with sepsis after abdominal gunshot wounds.
  • To analyze outcomes and identify key interventions in this patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 30 patients undergoing repeated surgical procedures.
  • Inclusion of patients with sepsis following abdominal gunshot wounds.
  • Documentation of interventions including mechanical ventilation, PEEP, antibiotics, and alprostidil.

Main Results:

  • Eleven patients (36.7%) developed Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).
  • Seven of those with ARDS (63.6%) also experienced acute renal insufficiency requiring hemodialysis.
  • Standard antibiotic regimens were used, adjusted based on antibiograms.

Conclusions:

  • Aggressive supportive care, including mechanical ventilation and PEEP, is crucial.
  • Early recognition and management of ARDS and acute renal insufficiency are vital.
  • Antibiotic therapy guided by antibiograms improves outcomes in surgical sepsis.
