5.1.1.2 Physiologic Response To Injury
• Response
• Sympathetic ANS (catecholamines)
• Parasympathetic ANS (anti-inflammation)
Inflammatory reflex
Hormonal response
Adrenal shock
• Lack of aldosterone
• ↓ preload
• Lack of cortisol
• ↑ Inflammation
• ↓ Vasoconstriction (afterload)
Metabolic response
Resting energy expenditure (REE) during stress conditions
Enteral Nutrition (EN): preferred route
• Preserves gut integrity
• Decreases bacterial translocation
• Preserves function of gut/liver (trophic effect)
• Reduces costs
• Has fewer complications
Normal Gut
• 30-50% in sepsis
• Coagulation failure → uncontrolled activation of both coagulation and
fibrinolysis
• Clot in microcirculation → MOF
Microcirculatory Hypothesis
Edema
Pump failure Renal failure
