急性脑损伤后的全身炎症反应综合征

急性脑损伤常合并全身炎症反应综合征(SIRS)，系多种细胞因子和炎性介质介导的一种病理过程，对损伤的脑组织和脑外器官的功能有重要影响，可加重脑水肿，增加全身感染的机会，严重者可发展成为多器官功能障碍综合征(MODS)。作者简要综述SIRS的诊断标准、病理过程及其与急性脑损伤、感染的关系。

Systemic inflammatory response syndrome following acute brain injury

Acute brain injury is usually complicated by systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) which is initiated by cytokines and inflammatory mediators and induces a series of adverse physiological changes, culminating in the development of multiple organ failure. SIRS plays a pivotal role on the function of brain and extra cerebral organs, exacerbates the brain edema, and increases the septic rate. The diagnostic criteria and pathological courses of SIRS, and its relationship with acute brain injury and sepsis are briefly reviewed.
