MENDIBURU, Rafael. Vasoplegia syndrome in cardiac surgery. Rev.Urug.Cardiol. [online]. 2020, vol.35, n.3, pp.275-291. Epub Dec 01, 2020. ISSN 0797-0048. https://doi.org/10.29277/cardio.35.3.17.
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.
