AI Article Synopsis

  • Patients in hemorrhagic shock can face a risk of enterogenic sepsis due to damage to the intestinal barrier, increasing the chance of bacteria and toxins entering the bloodstream after ischemic injury.
  • A case involving a 56-year-old man who experienced severe hemorrhage during a liver surgery highlights the complex nature of this condition; despite reinforcements, his condition didn't improve until he received anti-infective treatment and hormone support.
  • It’s crucial for healthcare professionals to be aware of potential enterogenic sepsis in such situations to ensure prompt recognition and effective treatment.

Article Abstract

Background: Patients with hemorrhagic shock may develop emerging enterogenic sepsis due to damage to the intestinal mucosal barrier and translocation of intestinal bacteria and endotoxins caused by ischemic injury. Because of the dual effects of anesthesia state and hemorrhagic shock, perioperative emerging enterogenic sepsis is even more rare and insidious.

Case Presentation: We reported a case of 56-year-old man who underwent right hepatectomy for intrahepatic bile duct stones. Severe hemorrhage occurred during the procedure and the hemodynamics neither improved nor worsened after rehydration therapy and vasoactive drug administration. Based on the patient's history and clinical presentation, a possible enterogenic sepsis was considered. After anti-infective treatment and hormone supplementation, the patient's circulation improved significantly and he had an uneventful recovery.

Conclusion: The possibility of emerging enterogenic sepsis in hemorrhagic shock must always be taken into consideration. Familiarity with the risk factors and pathophysiological alterations of enterogenic sepsis is a prerequisite for early recognition and sound clinical decision making.

Background: Currently, there is a lack of serum biomarkers that can accurately predict the short-term prognosis of enterogenic sepsis.

Methods: 99 patients with enterogenic sepsis were categorized based on their Acute Gastrointestinal Injury (AGI) grade on the third day of ICU admission into four groups: no AGI, AGI grade I, AGI grade II, and AGI (III+IV). Additionally, patients were classified into survival and death groups according to their 28-day clinical outcomes.

Objectives: The translocation of intestinal flora has been linked to the colonization of diverse and heavy lower respiratory flora in patients with septic ARDS, and is considered a critical prognostic factor for patients.

Methods: On the first and third days of ICU admission, BALF, throat swab, and anal swab were collected, resulting in a total of 288 samples. These samples were analyzed using 16S rRNA analysis and the traceability analysis of new generation technology.

There are significant differences in the susceptibility of populations to intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we show that mice exhibit significant differences in susceptibility to I/R-induced enterogenic sepsis. Notably, the milnacipran (MC) content in the enterogenic-sepsis-tolerant mice is significantly higher.
