- Title
Predictors of septic shock following gastrointestinal anastomotic leaks: Only signposts, no destination.
- Authors
Barreto, Savio G.; Chaudhary, Adarsh
- Abstract
The authors discuss the study conducted by A. Choudhuri and R. Uppal R. which presents an audit from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a tertiary referral care center on the predictors of septic shock following gastrointestinal anastomotic leaks. They say that the study was not the first to address the predictors of septic shock. They stresses that a more balanced and scientific approach between surgeons and intensivists is needed to approach the problem.
