Sepsis Peritoneal

Peritoneal sepsis is a serious complication of sepsis that occurs as a result of infection entering the abdominal cavity and spreading to tissues and organs. Acute decompensated sepsis, which is often a complication of a generalized purulent process, peritonitis, ranks second among the reasons for the primary hospitalization of patients in the intensive care unit of an infectious diseases hospital. Sepsis is one of the most dangerous diseases associated with infectious processes. It causes a systemic inflammatory response in the body, which can lead to various complications. One such complication is peritonitis.

Peritonitis is an inflammatory process that occurs in the abdominal cavity. The main causes of peritonitis are infections of the abdominal cavity, abdominal trauma, surgical interventions on the abdominal organs and others.

Symptoms of peritonitis may include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating, fever, chills, and others. If these symptoms do not go away within a few days, this may indicate the development of peritonitis.

Treatment of peritonitis requires medical intervention. Surgery is usually performed to remove infected tissue from the abdominal cavity. Antibiotic treatment is also given to fight the infection.

Peritonidal sepsis (SP) is a special case of a septic wound from the abdominal cavity with the spread of infection to muscles, skin, lungs, and other organs and tissues. This disease is characterized by the spread of a purulent-inflammatory process through the lymphatic crevices, abdominal vessels in the patient’s body, and the formation of common toxic metabolites. The sources of SP can be: the introduction of infection into the peritoneum from a focus in the retroperitoneal space; breakthrough into the abdominal cavity of epigastric abscesses, mesenteric lymph nodes, inflammatory foci of parenchymal organs. If a severe pathology of vital internal organs with signs of decompensation has been identified in the past, then the patient is rightfully considered “septic” already at the outpatient stage. In such cases, identifying indications for emergency surgery is quite problematic. Accordingly, the dynamics of the patient’s condition are traced problematically with a greater likelihood of falling into the erroneous opinion of cure and insufficient critical approach to the patient’s re-hospitalization “due to the ineffectiveness of the therapy carried out in the hospital.”
