Anaesthesiology

Multi-organ failure is usually caused due to Sepsis. It is also known as Total Organ Failure. Organ failure is dysfunction of vital organs to such an extent that normal homeostasis cannot be maintained without external medical intervention.

Respiratory failure happens when fluid builds up in the air sacs of your lungs. Your lungs cannot discharge oxygen into your blood. Organs can’t get enough oxygen-rich blood to work. The conditions can be acute or chronic. Respiratory failure can lead to death if not treated quickly.

Acute renal failure happens when your kidney loses the ability to eliminate excess salt from the blood. Salt concentration can rise to high levels when the kidney loses their filtering ability. Acute renal failure is also known as acute kidney failure.

Trauma mainly refers to any life-threatening physical injuries to the body. It can be caused due to any accident on the road or deep fall, a violent criminal act or a natural disaster. In addition to its physical impact, trauma is also emotionally distressing for the victims.

After a surgery is performed a patient needs close monitoring. Based on the type of surgery performed and medical history, patients may show post-surgical complications. These include shock, haemorrhage, wound infection, reaction to anaesthesia and many more.
