The systemic inflammatory response syndrome constitutes a set of clinical situations of different severity, which presents with an incidence of up to 25% during the first hours after cardiac surgery. In this review, the pathophysiological aspects and the risk factors that favor its development are analyzed. A diagnostic approach is proposed, with the final presentation of a therapeutic proposal.
