Sepsis and bacteremia

Sepsis (sepsis) is a general term for surgical infections that have manifestations of systemic inflammation, such as changes in body temperature, breathing, and circulation. It is the damage to the body tissues caused by the absorption of endotoxin, exotoxin and various inflammatory mediators mediated by them. When sepsis is accompanied by insufficient organ perfusion, such as lactic acidosis, oliguria, and acute conscious changes, it is called pyemia syndrome. If bacteria invade the blood circulation and blood culture is positive, it is called bacteremia. Sepsis and bacteremia are often secondary to severe post-traumatic infections and various purulent infections. The pathogenic bacteria are numerous, numerous, and virulent. Generally, the onset is rapid, the condition is severe, the changes are rapid, and the organ perfusion is often insufficient. Active comprehensive treatment must be given clinically. While fighting infection, attention should be paid to correct electrolyte disturbances and acid-base imbalances, and timely grasp the involvement of important organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys, and actively deal with them.
