ASSIGNMENT HELP | Describe multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and summarize the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, evaluation, and treatment.

The Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) is defined as a process of an altered organ function particularly in an acutely ill patient that requires adequate medical intervention to attain | PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW AT writtask.com | in the organ function can vary significantly from being a mild degree of the organ dysfunction to a rather organ failure that is | PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW AT writtask.com | extend of the organ failure will have a major clinical impact.

Pathophysiology of MODS

Although the pathophysiology of MODS is not clearly defined, it has manifested itself in the intensive care unit (ICU), the initial injury which precipitates the admission to the ICU results in a chain of events that leads to an activation of different endogenous | PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW AT writtask.com | often release compounds that are often cytoprotective. However, an activation of the endogenous systems may lead to the inflammatory response and subsequent failure of some of the distant | PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW AT writtask.com | the organs fail, there is subsequent activation and propagation of the systemic inflammatory response.

Clinical Manifestations

There are many symptoms that can depict the presence of multiple organ | PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW AT writtask.com | manifestation is the head and neck infection which is manifested through sore throat, a sinus pain and swollen lymph | PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW AT writtask.com | manifestation is chest and pulmonary infections depicted through cough, pleuritic chest pain and dyspnea.

Evaluation

MODS is often evaluated when a patient is experiencing two | PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW AT writtask.com | s. The failures might be either mild or | PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW AT writtask.com | besides the systemic inflammatory response | PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW AT writtask.com | localizing symptoms of the condition will start by exploring the head and neck as well as chest and pulmonary infections.

Treatment
