Answer to Question 1

Once MODS has developed, extensive medical support is needed until the inflammatory response has abated. Unfortunately, aggressive treatments can have damaging effects of their own and may cause further injury to organs that are already weakened by illness. Health practitioners should therefore be aware of the adverse effects of aggressive therapies and remain alert to a patient's responses to treatments. Mechanical ventilation is used to assist injured lungs and sustain gas exchange. Fluids and electrolytes are supplied to restore blood volume and maintain electrolyte balance. Medications help to sustain or increase cardiac output and maintain adequate blood pressure. Hemofiltration or dialysis helps to prevent the buildup of toxic metabolites in the blood. Antibiotic therapy may reverse or prevent infections. Enteral and parenteral nutrition support provide nutrients, help to prevent excessive wasting, and promote recovery.

Answer to Question 2

A
