ABSTRACT

So far, there is still lack of effective treatment to control persistent inflammation immunosuppression catabolism syndrome (PICS) appeared generally in those chronic critical illnesses (CCI) patients, restricted by the development of medicine and scientific research nowadays. Because the uncontrolled PICS aggravates continuously, ICU stay of the CCI patients has been obviously prolonging and the late mortality elevates greatly. So exploring effective therapeutic strategies is obviously pressing. With the characteristics in PICS such as that elderly with sepsis or severe trauma tops the list of morbidity, progressing illness is difficult to intervent and various pathology changes occur simultaneously, the fundamental principle of treatment, "Focal screening, early control, joint intervention" must be followed. As for the specific intervention, lessoning from some diseases with immune and metabolic disorders to take "anabolic nutrition support", is a research focus presently as well as a considerably potential breakthrough at the treatment research in the future. This review retrospects a series of therapeutic strategies of PICS, such as immunity, metabolism regulation, nutrition support, glucose control and physiotherapy, in the purpose of laying the foundation of the development of joint intervention strategy for PICS.
