Local Inflammatory
Response
Endothelial cells*
activated by alterations
in local environment
how endothelial cells
respond to alterations in
environment differ according
to host genetics, age,
gender, nature of pathogen
& location of vascular bed
“cross talk” to other
cells including
erythrocytes
platelets
leukocytes
vascular muscle cells
responsible for the release
of mediators
most important function is
regulation of
permeability
Mediators
released from endothelial cells
elicit (generate) the inflammatory
response
recruit white blood cells to the area
promote localized clotting
contain infection
body’s response to
insult/injury/abnormal situation
caused by physical, chemical,
biological agent
goal: move materials &
inflammatory immune response
cells to injury to prevent
foreign invasion or extension of
injury
Causes of Cellular Injury
tissue trauma
hypoxia ischemia
microbes
genetic or immune defects
malnutrition
extreme temperature
chemical agents & ionizing
radiation
What Went Wrong
containment of localized inflammatory
response limits further damage to the
host preserves the integrity of
uninvolved endothelial cells
when host response generalizes it
escapes the well-developed checks &
balances leads to unregulated
inflammatory response (macrolides go
everywhere)
Systemic Inflammatory
Response Syndrome (SIRS)
SIRS –
Populations at
Risk
age – older than
65 y/o
trauma patients
substance abuse
genetic factors
that predispose
them to infections
burn patients
SIRS – Clinical
Manifestations
temperature
>38C (100.4F)
<36C (96.8)
heart rate
>90bpm
(tachycardia)
respiration
>20
PaCO2 (alkalosis)
<32
WBC
>12,000 or <4,000
or >10% immature
cells
SIRS – Conditions
Associated
infection
pancreatitis
ischemia
trauma
shock
immune mediated organ
injury
exogenous administration
of cytokines
aspiration
massive transfusions
host defense
abnormalities
systemic inflammatory
process – aka generalized host
response that went wrong
manifested even in absence
of infection
SIRS in presence of
infection = sepsis
complications of SIRS
multiple organ dysfunction
syndrome (MODS)
acute lung injury (ALI)
acute renal failure (ARF)
diagnosed when at least 2 of
4 clinical manifestations occur
in high risk patients
Multiple Organ Dysfunction
Syndrome (MODS)
Primary MODS
results from a well-defined
insult
early organ dysfunction
directly related to initial
insult
accounts for a small fraction
of MODS
result of inadequate
oxygen delivery to cells
& a failure of
microcirculation to
remove metabolic end
products
identifiable disease process
such as trauma, pulmonary
contusion, aspiration or
inhalation injury, renal
dysfunction, thermal injuries
Secondary MODS
consequence of widespread systemic
inflammation
involvement of other organs
not well-defined insult
late organ dysfunction
result of generalized SIRS or sepsis
process
organ failure of two or more
organs
mortality rate: 45-55%
patient outcome relative to
number of failed organs
failure of each organ: 15-
20% increase mortality
three or more failed
organs: 80-100%
mortality
sepsis and trauma patients
highly susceptible
patient outcome directly
related to number of organs
involved
some patient’s w/ infection,
trauma, or surgery will only
have SIRS & minor organ
dysfunction that resolves
rapidly. others have massive
MODS – Pathologic Changes
uncontrolled systemic inflammation
tissue hypoxia
unregulated cell death
microvascular coagulopathy
