Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In primary MODS, the organ injury is directly associated with a specific insult, most often ischemia or impaired perfusion from an episode of shock or trauma, thermal injury, soft tissue necrosis, or invasive infection. Although MODS can be associated with impaired immune response, glucose use, and ventilation, the commonality in all cases of primary MODS is impaired perfusion.
