Scope note: Respuesta inflamatoria generalizada frente a diversas agresiones clínicas, que se caracteriza por dos o más de los siguientes síntomas: (1) fiebre superior a 38 grados Celsius o HIPOTERMIA inferior a 36 grados Celsius, (2) TAQUICARDIA de más de 90 pulsaciones por minuto, (3) taquipnea de más de 24 respiraciones por minuto y (4) LEUCOCITOSIS de más de 12.000 células por mm cúbico o 10 por ciento de formas inmaduras. Aunque generalmente está relacionado con infecciones, este síndrome también puede asociarse a procesos no infecciosos como TRAUMATISMOS, QUEMADURAS o PANCREATITIS. Cuando se trata de una infección se dice que el paciente padece una SEPSIS.

Scope note: A systemic inflammatory response to a variety of clinical insults, characterized by two or more of the following conditions: (1) fever >38 degrees C or HYPOTHERMIA 90 beat/minute; (3) tachypnea >24 breaths/minute; (4) LEUKOCYTOSIS >12,000 cells/cubic mm or 10% immature forms. While usually related to infection, SIRS can also be associated with noninfectious insults such as TRAUMA; BURNS; or PANCREATITIS. If infection is involved, a patient with SIRS is said to have SEPSIS.
