title: [Multiple organ failure syndrome in critically ill patients].
abstract: A new approach to defining the notion of multiple organ failure is proposed. It is based on division of the organ humoral injuries at the stages of dysfunction, insufficiency, and failure. Criteria of these stages are defined for the central nervous and cardiovascular systems, lungs, liver, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract.
