Postinjury Multiple Organ Failure (MOF) is the ultimately feared complication
among polytrauma patients who survive the initial insult of significant mechanical
energy transfer to the body. It is common knowledge that it is the major contributor
to late deaths after injury. It is extremely resource intensive on the health care system
and society in general. In this Preface, we are sharing with you some less academic
but more historical and anecdotal intricacies of the long affair that has been
linked with MOF.
While polytrauma is a disease triggered by the impact of external energy on the
organism, resulting in physiological derangements and systemic inflammatory
response syndrome frequently leading to dysfunction of the uninjured organs, MOF
is a syndrome not specific to trauma.
Once you are intrigued by the mechanisms, pathophysiology, prediction, treatment,
outcomes, and prevention of MOF, you are naturally studying traumatic
shock, its resuscitation, the postinjury inflammatory response, the optimal timing of
surgical interventions, and many aspects of postinjury critical care. MOF is an overarching
pathological endpoint to avoid.
