12. MULTIPLE ORGAN FAILURE The objective of all treatment of shock is to resuscitate the patient, to restore haemodynamic stability, and to prevent organ failure.
However, due to reasons not clearly understood, and depending on the severity of shock, or persistance of the state of shock, some patients will pass into Multiple Organ failure*.
It begins with pulmonary dysfunction, followed by hepatic, intestinal, and renal failure.
As the number of organs failing increase mortality climbs to 100%.
* also called
MODS (Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome)
MOSF (Multiple organ system failure)
