    Flashcards

    Septic Shock

    A life-threatening condition caused by overwhelming infection, leading to widespread inflammation, blood clotting problems, and organ dysfunction.

    SIRS

    Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) is a generalized inflammatory response that can occur in response to a variety of insults, including infection, trauma, and surgery. It is characterized by at least two of the following five criteria: fever or hypothermia, tachycardia, tachypnea, increased white blood cell count, or decreased white blood cell count with more than 10% immature forms.

    Sepsis

    The presence of SIRS with a known or suspected infection.

    Severe Sepsis

    Sepsis with organ dysfunction, hypoperfusion, or hypotension.
