Nursing intervention to a patient with Sepsis of abdominal origin plus Iatrogenic Cushing's Syndrome.

Abstract

Sepsis is a condition that is generated by an inappropriate response of the organism against an infection, giving rise to multi-organ failure, thus worsening the hemodynamic state of the patient and that, together with this, compromises his life in the critical area; thus, being a serious health problem with a high mortality rate. It is important to mention that the population susceptible to this condition is one that suffers from chronic-degenerative diseases, and therefore does not maintain adequate control, aggravating their clinical situation; thus, representing a patient admitted to the Intensive Care Unit in which constant attention will be necessary through the interventions of the nursing professional in the Intensive Care Unit.
