Abstract

Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is the final common pathway that results in widespread endothelial dysfunction and organ injury. The American College of Chest Physicians/Society of Critical Care Medicine Consensus statement in 1992 describes the “multiple organ dysfunction syndrome” as a continuum of organ compromise. This chapter describes the proposed cellular mechanisms that lead to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in response to a pathologic stimulus, delineates the individual organ system dysfunction in this setting, reviews predictors of outcomes, and offers approaches to therapeutic interventions.
