Key result
A 2009 review of 13 articles on shock highlighted advances in understanding sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction, sympathetic modulation, vasopressors, fluid resuscitation, and ARDS treatments.
This review provides a summary of key research on shock, sepsis, and ARDS published in Critical Care during 2009.
2009 shock review findings should not guide current practice; leaves open need for updated evidence syntheses on sepsis and ARDS.
The research papers on shock that have been published in Critical Care throughout 2009 are related to four major subjects: first, alterations of heart function and, second, the role of the sympathetic central nervous system during sepsis; third, the impact of hemodynamic support using vasopressin or its synthetic analog terlipressin, and different types of fluid resuscitation; as well as, fourth, experimental studies on the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome. The present review summarizes the key results of these studies together with a brief discussion in the context of the relevant scientific and clinical background published both in this and other journals.
