Multiple Organ Failure Syndrome: Patterns and Effect of Current Therapyally, the MOFS was described as a response pattern following polytrauma [1–7]. Since then, it has been described after a variety of surgical pathologies including: sepsis and septic shock, hypovolemic shock as in ruptured aneurysms, and following persistent inflammation, as in pancreatitis [8–12].

Human and Canine Septic Shock: Studies of Cardiovascular Abnormality, Mediators, and Therapiesormalities in septic shock. We have also developed a canine model that simulates the hemodynamic abnormalities of human septic shock. Results of these and other studies have helped us to understand the mechanisms of septic shock and to evaluate therapies for this highly lethal disorder.
