Difference between Major trauma and Sepsis

Major trauma vs. Sepsis

Major trauma is any injury that has the potential to cause prolonged disability or death. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to infection causes injury to its own tissues and organs.

Similarities between Major trauma and Sepsis

Major trauma and Sepsis have 32 things in common (in Unionpedia): Abdomen, Altered level of consciousness, Burn, Cardiac output, Coagulopathy, Corticosteroid, Developed country, Developing country, Edema, Fresh frozen plasma, Glasgow Coma Scale, Hypotension, Hypothermia, Inflammation, Inotrope, Intensive care unit, Intravenous therapy, Mean arterial pressure, Metabolic acidosis, Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, Norepinephrine (medication), Oxygen saturation (medicine), Packed red blood cells, Platelet, Polytrauma, Shock (circulatory), Systemic inflammatory response syndrome, Tachycardia, The BMJ, The Lancet, ..., The New England Journal of Medicine, Toxin.

Abdomen

The abdomen (less formally called the belly, stomach, tummy or midriff) constitutes the part of the body between the thorax (chest) and pelvis, in humans and in other vertebrates.

Cardiac output

Cardiac output (CO, also denoted by the symbols Q and \dot Q_), is a term used in cardiac physiology that describes the volume of blood being pumped by the heart, in particular by the left or right ventricle, per unit time.

Coagulopathy

A bleeding disorder (coagulopathy) is a condition that affects the way the blood clots.

Developed country

A developed country, industrialized country, more developed country, or "more economically developed country" (MEDC), is a sovereign state that has a highly developed economy and advanced technological infrastructure relative to other less industrialized nations.

Developing country

A developing country (or a low and middle income country (LMIC), less developed country, less economically developed country (LEDC), underdeveloped country) is a country with a less developed industrial base and a low Human Development Index (HDI) relative to other countries.

Edema

Edema, also spelled oedema or œdema, is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitium, located beneath the skin and in the cavities of the body, which can cause severe pain.

Hypothermia

Hypothermia is reduced body temperature that happens when a body dissipates more heat than it absorbs.

Inflammation

Inflammation (from inflammatio) is part of the complex biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants, and is a protective response involving immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators.

Intensive care unit

Intensive care unit An intensive care unit (ICU), also known as an intensive therapy unit or intensive treatment unit (ITU) or critical care unit (CCU), is a special department of a hospital or health care facility that provides intensive treatment medicine.

Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome

Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), also known as multiple organ failure (MOF), total organ failure (TOF) or multisystem organ failure (MSOF), is altered organ function in an acutely ill patient requiring medical intervention to achieve homeostasis.

Platelet

Platelets, also called thrombocytes (from Greek θρόμβος, "clot" and κύτος, "cell"), are a component of blood whose function (along with the coagulation factors) is to react to bleeding from blood vessel injury by clumping, thereby initiating a blood clot.
