Laboratory findings
– Blood lactate levels > early
accumulation of lactate metabolic acidosis (with increased anion gap)
increased glycolysis
impaired clearance of the resulting lactate and pyruvate by the liver and kidneys
– blood glucose concentration >
Patients with DM

C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, and complement components >
Other examinations
– Chest radiograph
normal or may show evidence of underlying pneumonia, volume overload, or
the diffuse infiltrates of ARDS
– ECG
Tachycardia & nonspecific ST–T-wave abnormalities
– General support
nutritional supplementation
reduce the impact of protein hypercatabolism
Prophylactic heparinization to prevent deep venous thrombosis
If not have active bleeding or coagulopathy
tight control of the blood glucose concentration in recovery from critical
illness
insulin only if it is needed to maintain the blood glucose concentration below 150 mg/dL
must be monitored frequently (every 1–2 h) for hypoglycemia
Prognosis Prevention
– 20–35% of patients with severe sepsis and – Most are
40–60% of patients with septic shock die

nosocomial infections
– Others die within the ensuing 6 months

Anaphylaxis shock
life-threatening response of a sensitized human appears within
minutes after systemic exposure to specific antigen
intense bronchospasm, vascular collapse, & shock
Cutaneous manifestations
pruritus and urticaria with or without angioedema
GI manifestations
nausea, vomiting, crampy abdominal pain, and diarrhea

ETIOLOGY
Tumor
Calculus (often called a stone, is a concretion of material, usually mineral salts,
that forms in an organ or duct of the body)
Parasite
Bacteria
Viral infection
Enlarged lymph node
Foreign objects
Peritonitis is an inflammation of the peritoneum, the tissue that lines the inner wall
of the abdomen and covers and supports most of your abdominal organs.
ETIOLOGY
primary spontaneous peritonitis
An infection that develops in the peritoneum
secondary peritonitis
usually develops when an injury or infection in the abdominal cavity allows
infectious organisms into the peritoneum.
http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/peritonitis-symptoms-causes-treatments
THE MOST COMMON RISK FACTORS FOR PRIMARY SPONTANEOUS
PERITONITIS INCLUDE:
Liver disease with cirrhosis
Such disease often causes a buildup of abdominal fluid (ascites) that can become infected.
Kidney failure getting peritoneal dialysis
The implantation of a catheter into the peritoneum, is used to remove waste products in
the blood of people with kidney failure. It's linked to a higher risk of peritonitis due to
accidental contamination of the peritoneum by way of the catheter.
http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/peritonitis-symptoms-causes-treatments
COMMON CAUSES OF SECONDARY PERITONITIS INCLUDE:
A ruptured appendix, diverticulum, or stomach ulcer
Digestive diseases such as Crohn's disease and diverticulitis
Pancreatitis
Pelvic inflammatory disease
Perforations of the stomach, intestine, gallbladder, or appendix
Surgery
Trauma to the abdomen, such as an injury from a knife or gunshot wound

Harrison_s - Medicina Interna - 16th_Edition
• Aseptic peritonitis may be due to peritoneal irritation by
abnormal presence of physiologic fluids (gastric juice, bile,
pancreatic enzymes, blood, urine) or sterile foreign bodies
(surgical sponge, starch from surgical gloves)

TREATMENT
May need to be hospitalized for peritonitis that's caused by infection from other medical
conditions (secondary peritonitis). Treatment may include:
Antibiotics. You'll likely be given a course of antibiotic medication to fight the
infection and prevent it from spreading. The type and duration of your antibiotic therapy
depend on the severity of your condition and the kind of peritonitis you have.
Surgery. Surgical treatment is often necessary to remove infected tissue, treat the
underlying cause of the infection, and prevent the infection from spreading, especially if
peritonitis is due to a ruptured appendix, stomach or colon.
Other treatments. Depending on your signs and symptoms, your treatment while in the
hospital may include pain medications, intravenous (IV) fluids, supplemental oxygen
and, in some cases, a blood transfusion.

Hernia
Hernia is defined as an abnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue through a defect
in its surrounding walls
Abdominal wall hernias occur only at sites at which the aponeurosis and fascia
are not covered by striated muscle

Strangulated Hernia
Strangulation occurs more often in large hernias that have small orifices entraps
the hernia contents obstructs arterial blood flow, venous drainage, or both to the
contents of the hernia sac

Strangulated Hernia
Strangulated Hernia
This can lead to the death of the affected bowel tissue
Femoral hernias have the highest rate of strangulation
Clinical presentation :
Hernia associated with
Vomiting
Blood in excrement
Constipation
Malaise with or without fever
A burning or hot sensation around the hernia
Townsend CM, Beauchamp RD, Evers BM, Mattox KL. Sabiston textbook of surgery. 19th Ed. Philadelphia : Elsevier Saunders;
2012
Management
Preperitoneal repair
The hernia sac contents can be directly visualized and their viability assessed
through a single incision
The constricting ring is identified and can be incised to reduce the entrapped
viscus with minimal danger to the surrounding organs, blood vessels, and nerves
If it is necessary to resect strangulated intestine, the peritoneum can be opened
and resection done without the need for a second incision.

Complication
If strangulation is not recognized, gangrenous bowel can be
reduced, which leads to peritonitis and sepsis
Recurrent Hernia
Prevention
Hernia should be repaired at the time of discovery
