Abstract:
Objective To study the etiology, clinical features, risk factors of septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome /multiple organ failure (MODS/MOF) caused by gastroenteritis infection in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Methods Case records of patients with gastroenteritis complicated by septic shock and MODS/MOF admitted to PICU in Children's hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University from January 2000 to December 2004 were reviewed for etiology, case fatality rate, prognosis and relationship with MODS/MOF. Univariate analyses were performed to analyse the risk factors associated with septic shock and MODS/MOF. Results During the 5 years, 1 536 patients with critical illness were admitted and MODS/MOF associated with gastroenteriitis infection developed in 28 patients. The overall mortality of patients with MODS/MOF associated with gastroenteriitis was 75%. The mean age was (1.9?3.4)years and 19 cases(67.8%)were under 1 year. The patients with MODS/MOF involved (3.7?0.9)organs or systems on average. The numbers of involved organs systems were circulatory in 28 patients(100%), gastrointestinal system in 21(75%), lung in 20(71.4%), kidney in 14(50%),brain in 9(32.4%),blood in 9(32.4%) and liver in 5(17.9%). The first dysfunctional system was gastrointestinal tract in 13(46.4%),circulatory in 11(39.3%),and lung in 4(14.3%). The average volume of fluid resuscitation was (46.2?12.6)ml/kg and range from 30 ml/kg to 75 ml/kg in the first hour. The average fluid was (92.7?33.9)ml/kg and range from 70 ml/kg to 120 ml/kg in 6 hours. The cases fatality of patients with or without successful volume resuscitation were 66.7% (12 in 18 cases) and 90%(9 in 10 cases) in 6 hours respectively.Univariate analyses indicated the following risk factors: numbers of failed organ and lower pediatric critical illness score(P
