The Mystery of MODS

Summary By: Oli Flowers


Mervyn Singer entertains the SMACC crowd with tales of MODS
(Multi Organ Dysfunction Syndrome). With videos of Raquel Welch,
stories from the Battle of Trafalgar and lessons from evolution, he
makes us think about the important physiology underlying critical
illness. This lecture precedes the latest SIRS definition and
really puts them into context and leads on to the promise of
precision medicine.
