Organ System Crosstalk in Critical Illness

From Basic Pathophysiology to Clinical Management

Herausgegeben: Battaglini, Denise; De Rosa, Silvia; Godoy, Daniel Agustin

Beschreibung

This book describes deleterious inter-organ crosstalk and its mechanistic concepts, underlying the specific clinical aspect and focusing on medical clinical management in critical care.

Homeostasis and health of multicellular organisms with multiple organs depends on inter-organ communication. Tissue injury in one organ disturbs this homeostasis and can lead to disease in multiple organs, or multi-organ failure. Many routes of inter-organ crosstalk during homeostasis are relatively well known, but inter-organ crosstalk in disease still lacks understanding. Particularly, how tissue injury in one organ can drive injury at remote sites and trigger multi-organ failure with high mortality is poorly understood. Mechanistically, inter-organ crosstalk after tissue injury could involve soluble mediators and their target receptors, cellular mediators, in particular immune cells, as well as newly identified neuro-immune connections.

The book - addressed to healthcare providers working in intensive care units - aims to provide a comprehensive synthesis and interpretation of organ crosstalk, with a particular focus on continuing practice gaps and areas with new data, to assist clinicians in making practical, yet evidence-based decisions regarding nutrition management during the different stages of critical illness.

Denise Battaglini is an Assistant Professor in Intensive Care at the University of Genoa in Italy. She earned her PhD in Translational Medicine from the University of Barcelona, Spain, and has completed two research fellowships—one focused on pneumonia and respiratory physiotherapy at the University of Barcelona and another in neurointensive care and pulmonary critical care (mechanical ventilation) at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In addition, Dr. Battaglini actively participates in professional organizations, serving in representative roles for the Italian Society of Anaesthesia, Analgesia, Resuscitation, and Intensive Care (SIAARTI) and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM). Her research interests center on pulmonary critical care, with a special emphasis on rehabilitation, physiotherapy, airways management, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), and mechanical ventilation. Through her work, Dr. Battaglini aims to improve patient outcomes in intensive care settings by implementing evidence-based practices and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. She is dedicated to advancing the field of intensive care medicine and enhancing the quality of care provided to critically ill patients. Silvia De Rosa is Asst, Prof. in Anaesthesiology, Intensive Care and Pain Medicine at Centre for Medical Sciences - CISMed, University of Trento, Italy.
