Sepsis is a major cause of mortality as a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to an infection injures its own tissue, and in the past decade, emphasis has been placed on early treatment to decrease mortality. In this case, we discuss the presentation of a young patient with sepsis due to acute complicated pyelonephritis with an obstructing ureterocele diagnosed by point-of-care ultrasound and explore the use of point-of-care ultrasound in sepsis.
脓毒症是一种主要的致死原因,是一种危及生命的病症,当身体对感染的反应损伤自身组织时就会出现。在过去十年里,重点一直放在早期治疗以降低死亡率上。在这个病例中,我们讨论了一名因急性复杂性肾盂肾炎合并输尿管囊肿梗阻导致脓毒症的年轻患者的临床表现,并探讨了床旁超声在脓毒症中的应用。
