    Study Notes

    Surgical Stress Response

    • Major tissue injury triggers a systemic response affecting vital organs

    • This response involves hormonal, inflammatory cytokine and neural pathways

    • The response aims to limit damage and begin repair processes

    • However, the response can have negative consequences such as:

      • Sepsis
      • Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS)
    • Managing the metabolic response is crucial for successful outcomes in post-operative care, trauma and sepsis
