However, at present, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of SAE have remained elusive. The pathogenesis of SAE is complex and multifactorial, in which activated inflammation is recognized as a major factor.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
"The first manifestation of SAE is an acute change in mental status, ranging from inattention, disorientation, agitation, somnolence, stupor and coma," the authors write. There is no specific treatment for SAE.[news-medical.net]
Arousable by loud voice commands, but immediately lapses into stupor without further response. MAP failed to improve with further increase in norepinephrine. CPP 50 despite increase of ventilatory rate in an effort to decrease ICP.[rense.com]
SAE can also lead to stupor and coma. This is the most common encephalopathy in the ICU.[alvinandassociateslnc.com]

It can range from slight confusion to coma and can be, although rarely, accompanied by focal neurological signs.[scitechnol.com]

Patients with lethal outcome were more likely to be female (p 0.0011), to have focal seizures (p 0.034), lower values of GCS during hospitalization (p CONCLUSION: Presence of focal seizures, EEGsuppression at the time of exacerbation in SAE elderly patients[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Both patients showed diffuse brainedema on CT and severe brain dysfunction on electroencephalography within a day of onset.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
These therapies include mild hyperventilation which curtails intracerebral blood volume, ventricular drainage of CSF and osmotherapy to reduce brainedema/parenchymal volume.[pulmccm.org]
Ammonia is thought to result in both cytotoxic and vasogenic brainedema due to the cerebral energy failure, excessive intracellular accumilation of glutamine and alteration in aquaporin-4 integral membrane proteins.[clinicaladvisor.com]
METHODS: All patients received standard goal-directed resuscitation treatment. Patients with pre-existing or acute neurological disorders were excluded.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
At this moment a specific treatment for SAE does not exist and outcome relies upon prompt and appropriate treatment of sepsis as a whole. [Indexed for MEDLINE] Free full text[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Most therapeutic options center around aggressive treatment of the underlying infection.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Brain edema aggravated and lasted for a few months despite a variety of treatments. MR imaging in the chronic phase revealed cracking lesions extending to the cerebral white matter, the cerebellum, and the brainstem.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Delirium is caused by an underlying physiological disturbance, and treatment requires identification of the underlying cause. Making this diagnosis requires careful differential diagnosis. However, often the cause of delirium is hard to recognize.[ingentaconnect.com]
SAE is potentially reversible, but it always worsens the prognosis. Pathophysiology of SAE is not still completely understood, and it is probably multifactorial.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
BACKGROUND: Encephalopathy is a common complication of sepsis, and its onset can occur at any stage of sepsis and implies worse prognosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The aim of this study was to study the clinical significance of serum S100β and NSE in diagnosing sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) and predicting its prognosis. This was a prospective and observational study.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
