‘combination therapy’ where antibiotics of different classes are combined to cover the suspected organism with more than one agent. The latter approach may be of benet in patients with septic shock but is not recommended for most other serious infec­tions. Infections associated with high levels of toxin mediated pathophysiology, such as streptococcal toxic shock syndrome or necrotising soft tissue infections may ben­et from treatment with both a bactericidal and protein synthesis inhibiting antibiotic (e.g. penicillin and clindamycin). In patients at risk of invasive Candida infection consider empiric antifungal cover, generally echinocandins in critically ill patients.
Once the causative pathogen and it’s antimicrobial sensitivities are dened anti­biotic therapy should be rened to the narrowest spectrum effective agent. If cul­tures are negative monitored de-escalation may be appropriate based on clinical response. Data regarding de-escalation is scant but there are clear benets to avoid­ing unnecessarily prolonged antibiotic exposure for both society and the patient. Unnecessarily prolonged antibiotic therapy promotes C difcile colitis, superinfec­tion with multi-drug resistant organisms and is associated with increased mortality [34]. Treatment with appropriate antibiotics for 7–10days appears adequate for most serious infections complicated by sepsis or septic shock. Rapid clinical resolu­tion and early effective source control may permit shorter courses (for instance sur­gically treated intra-abdominal sepsis and uncomplicated pyelonephritis). There may be benet in longer courses when source control cannot be achieved, clinical resolution is slow, immune deciency exists or in cases of S aureus bacteraemia or fungal infection. Daily assessment for de-escalation of antibiotic therapy is effective and may improve survival. Input from an infectious disease specialist is worthwhile. As noted above, PCT measurement can be used to shorten duration of antibiotic therapy in patients with resolving sepsis or support the decision to discontinue anti­biotics when ongoing evidence for a presumptive diagnosis of sepsis is weak.

17.7.3 Source Control
When septic shock arises from infection in a site amenable to source control the time to intervention is a critical determinant of survival [68, 69]. Specically abscess drainage, debridement of infected tissue, removal of an infected device or denitive control of an ongoing source of microbial contamination should be undertaken as soon as possible; in some cases haemodynamic stability cannot be achieved without source control and prolonged efforts at medical stabilisation may be counterproductive.
17.7.4 Corticosteroids
Septic shock appears to be associated with relative adrenal insufciency [22]. The putative benets of corticosteroid supplementation are two-fold: (1) A generally

anti-inammatory effect—corticosteroids suppress chemokine and cell adhesion molecule expression, antigen presentation and lysosome degranulation, phospholi­pase A2 mediated production of arachidonic acid derivatives and pro-inammatory cytokine production (e.g. TNFα, IL-1, IL-2, IL-8). Lymphocytic T-cells are shifted from pro-inammatory Th1 to anti-inammatory Th2 phenotype [70]. (2) Augmenting vasomotor tone—corticosteroids promote α1-adrenergic receptor sen­sitivity by increasing inositol trisphosphate (IP3) release and potentiating down­stream sensitivity to protein kinase C.These effects are independent of changes in plasma catecholamine levels, adrenergic receptor expression or ligand binding afnity. Conversely, angiotensin II activity is augmented by increased angiotensino­gen levels and increased receptor density. More generally, corticosteroids promote vasomotor tone by inhibiting endothelial nitric oxide release, stimulating endothelin release, and modulating vascular smooth muscle cell Na+ and Ca2+ handling [71]. Outcome data regarding corticosteroid therapy in septic shock is conicting and it is unclear whether steroid therapy in septic shock is associated with a mortality benet. Nevertheless, administering 200mg hydrocortisone daily to vasopressor dependent, mechanically ventilated patients with septic shock appears to be safe and associated with quicker resolution of shock [10, 72]. Evaluating adrenal func­tion in septic shock (e.g. synacthen test, plasma cortisol assay) is difcult to inter­pret and not generally useful.

17.7.5 Adjunctive Therapies
Intensity of supportive therapies such as blood sugar control and dosing of renal replacement therapies are now informed by randomised control trial data [73, 74]. However, data supporting more specic adjunctive therapies for sepsis and septic shock have proven elusive. Strategies which enhance the activity of potentially ben­ecial endogenous pathways (activated protein C [75], thrombomodulin, intrave­nous immunoglobulins, granulocyte colony stimulating factor, anti-Enterobacteriaceae monoclonal antibody) or suppress activity of deleterious pathways (TNFα, IL-1, NO, arachidonic acid derivatives, TLR-4) have been evalu­ated in patients with septic shock. They have not shown convincing outcome bene­t, and none are recommended for use in septic shock. Observational studies indicated that HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) were associated with improved outcomes in sepsis, potentially through favourable modulation of the immune, endothelial and coagulation systems. However, prospective studies have not borne out this initial promise [76]. Blood purication techniques (such as hae­moltration) are effective at removing inammatory mediators but do not appear to improve outcome from septic shock and a recent randomised controlled study indi­cates that polymyxin B haemoperfusion does not benet patients with septic shock [77]. Biologically, perhaps this is not surprising—inammatory and immune path­ways have built in redundancy and mediators are pleiotropic. Targeting one media­tor may not signicantly redene the immunological landscape and even if it does,

the effects may be unpredictable and dynamic. Furthermore, most of these adjunc­tive therapies, like steroids, are borne of the ‘maladaptive inammation’ paradigm of sepsis and may be less rational in the context of subtler immune dysfunction.
17.8 Conclusion
Sepsis and septic shock are common and often fatal. Our understanding of the pathophysiology is maturing but remains incomplete. We are beginning to appreci­ate the tensions between adaptive and maladaptive changes, excessive inammation and immunoparesis, but have not yet identied specic therapies which can resolve them. Patients are best served by a sound application of microbiological principles and physiologically rational approach to supportive therapy.

Pathophysiology ofReperfusion Injury
PrueCowled andRobertFitridge
Key Learning Points
Ischaemia-Reperfusion Injury (IRI) is the paradoxical local and remote tissue
damage which occurs when perfusion is returned to ischaemic tissue.
• Tissue ischaemia occurs when perfusion is less than what is required to provide
tissues with adequate oxygen, glucose and other substances which are required for
normal cellular function. This results in anaerobic glycolysis which inhibits ATP
production and generates lactic acid. This results in tissue acidosis, failure of cel-
lular ATP-dependent pumps and efux of cellular potassium. A large number of
pro-inammatory genes and transcription factors are up-regulated during ischaemia.
When oxygen returns to ischaemic tissue, xanthine oxidase catalyses the conver-
sion of hypoxanthine to superoxide anions, which are subsequently converted to
reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (such as superoxide anion, hydrogen per-
oxide, hydroxyl radical, nitric oxide and peroxynitrite).
• Reactive oxygen species (ROS) cause lipid peroxidation of cellular membranes
and the generation of pro-inammatory eicosanoids. ROS also activate endothe-
lial cells which express adhesion molecules such as E-selectin, vascular cell
adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1),
endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1), plasminogen activator
inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), tissue factor and interleukin-8 (IL-8).
Eicosanoids are straight-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids that are derived from
arachidonic acid and include prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes.
They are signalling molecules that modulate inammation, immune responses
and tissue blood ow.

• Nitric oxide is synthesised from L-arginine by nitric oxide synthases (NOS).
There is an initial surge in NO levels in early ischaemia (rst 15min) due to tran-
sient activation of endothelial NOS (eNOS). During early reperfusion, the endo-
thelial damage results in loss of eNOS function and a fall in NO production. This
predisposes to vasoconstriction and potentially exacerbation of tissue ischaemia.
• Endothelins are potent vasoconstrictors which are produced by the vascular
endothelium and are elevated in IRI.
• Hypoxia and IRI induce numerous cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor-α,
interleukins-1, -6 and -8 and platelet activating factor, which are released sys-
temically and play a key role in the development of systemic inammatory
response syndrome and multi-system organ failure associated with IRI.
• Neutrophils are activated during IRI and play a key role in tissue damage.
Activated neutrophils generate ROS and a number of proteases, such as matrix
metalloproteinases (MMPs).
• Selectins are transmembrane molecules expressed by activated neutrophils, acti-
vated endothelial cells and platelets. Selectins mediate the initial neutrophil-
endothelial interaction/adhesion. Integrins and members of the immunoglobulin
supergene family (e.g. ICAM-1, VCAM-1, platelet-endothelial cell adhesion
molecule-1) mediate rm adhesion of activated neutrophils to the endothelium
and allow their extravasation into the tissues. The ROS and proteases generated
by inltrating neutrophils contribute to tissue damage in IRI.
• Complement activation contributes to local and systemic IRI.
• Toll-like receptors (TLR) are proteins involved in the innate immune system.
TLR signalling is a key mediator of inammation during IRI.
• Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are enzymes which can degrade extracellular
matrix. Elevated MMP-2 and -9 have been detected in cerebral, skeletal muscle
and pulmonary IRI, resulting in destruction of basement membrane collagen and
laminin.
• The no-reow phenomenon is the failure of microvascular perfusion following
reperfusion due to plugging of post-capillary venules by activated leukocytes and
increasing permeability of endothelium resulting in exudation of uid and pro-
teins with subsequent increase in interstitial pressure.
The complexity of the pathophysiology of IRI has resulted in the failure of thera-
peutic interventions to have been adopted into clinical practice. Ischaemic pre-
conditioning holds theoretical promise in reducing IRI in vascular surgery but
further larger trials are needed. Ischaemic post-conditioning and the effects of
volatile anaesthetic agents on ameliorating the severity of IRI also require further
investigation.

tissues, however reperfusion itself paradoxically causes further damage, threatening function and viability of the organ. IRI occurs in a wide range of organs including the heart, lung, kidney, gut, skeletal muscle and brain and may involve not only the ischaemic organ itself but may also induce systemic damage to distant organs, potentially leading to multi-system organ failure. Reperfusion injury is a multi­factorial process resulting in extensive tissue destruction. The aim of this review is to summarise these molecular and cellular mechanisms and thus provide an insight into possible windows for effective therapeutic intervention.

18.2 Ischaemia
18.2.1 ATP andMitochondrial Function
Ischaemia occurs when the blood supply is less than the demand required for nor­mal function, resulting in deciencies in oxygen, glucose and other substances required for metabolism. Derangements in metabolic function begin during this ischaemic phase. Initially, glycogen breakdown by mitochondrial anaerobic gly­colysis produces two molecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) along with lactic acid, resulting in a decrease in tissue pH, which then acts by negative feedback to inhibit further ATP production (Fig.18.1). ATP is then sequentially broken down into adenosine diphosphate (ADP), adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and inosine monophosphate (IMP) and then further into adenosine, inosine, hypoxanthine and xanthine (Fig.18.2, upper panel).
At the cellular level, a lack of ATP production causes ATP-dependent ionic pumps, including the Na+/K+ and Ca2+ pumps, to fail and the transmembrane ionic gradients are lost. Consequently, cytosolic sodium content rises, drawing with it, a volume of water to attempt to maintain the osmotic equilibrium and resulting in hydroponic swelling of the cells. To maintain the ionic balance, potassium ions escape from the cell into the interstitial space (reviewed in [1]). Calcium is released from the mitochondria into the cytoplasm and into extracellular spaces, thereby activating mitochondrial calcium-dependent cytosolic proteases including calpain, which then converts the cellular enzyme xanthine dehydrogenase to xanthine oxi­dase (Fig.18.2, upper panel). Phospholipases are also activated during ischaemia, degrading membrane lipids and increasing the levels of circulating fatty acids.
18.2.2 Gene Expression During Ischaemia
As well as metabolic derangements, ischaemia induces expression of a large num­ber of genes, which play a major role in the tissue’s response to ischaemic damage. An RNA expression microarray analysis, using mouse soleus muscle rendered isch­aemic by femoral artery ligation, found that expression of 962 genes was induced
