Consensus conference definitions for sepsis, septic shock, acute lung injury, and acute respiratory distress syndrome: Time for a reevaluation

Abstract: Definitions for sepsis, septic shock, acute lung injury (ALI), and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) were developed by consensus conferences with the goal of achieving standardization of terminology and improved homogeneity of patient populations in clinical studies. Although such definitions have been useful in epidemiologic investigations, the criteria specified by the consensus conferences are broad and insufficiently specific to address the problem of heterogeneous mechanisms leading to clinical s… Show more

“…This is, at least in part, to be blamed on the lack of understanding of the underlying pathophysiological processes, which itself is aggravated by the deficiency of clear definitions and the heterogeneity of the diseases summarized under the concept of ALI. To overcome this deficit, a disease entity-based subgrouping (5) and a reevaluation of the definition of ARDS (6) have been demanded. In this respect, it has been recognized that ALI can be differentiated into direct ALI (ALI direct ) and indirect ALI (ALI indirect ) by taking into account potentially dissimilar pathophysiology, different radiological manifestations and respiratory mechanics, as well as the disparate susceptibility to ventilatory strategies (5,(7)(8)(9)(10)(11).…”

“…TRALI in TACO je težko ločiti med seboj, saj je klinična slika zelo podobna, pri TRALI gre namreč za nekardiogeni, pri TACO pa kardiogeni pljučni edem (32). V pomoč so nam lahko vrednosti krvnega tlaka (pri TRALI so značilno nizke, pri TACO pa visoke) in povišana telesna temperatura (TRALI), pri TRALI lahko beležimo v hemogramu tudi prehodno levkopenijo (33)(34)(35)(36). Poleg tega nam je v pomoč tudi NT proBNP, ki je kazalec srčnega popuščanja in je tipično povišan pri TACO ter načeloma nizek pri TRA-LI (37,38).…”

“…No obstante, este problema semántico no parece todavía estar del todo resuelto y desde luego siguen surgiendo voces críticas que claman la necesidad de precisar todavía más el contexto clínico que envuelve al paciente con una sepsis (8)(9)(10)(11)(12). En efecto, según tales voces, las definiciones propuestas por la Conferencia de Consenso de la ACCP/SCCM adolecen de ser todavía demasiado amplias.…”
