Abstract:

We associated conventional other new parameters, to show the ratio between the endogenous (exogenous) oxidants and antioxidants and the influence exercised by this ratio upon the sensibility of organism to the standard therapy applied. In the same time, we sustain that a good and frequently clinic and paraclinic observations of evolution assure the possibility to select the opportunity for applying the most adequate schema of treatment, to correct the functional and humourale disequilibrium. The capacity of tissues to be very sensible to the applied therapy could be evaluated by means of the new parameters proposed. Understanding the basic mechanisms underlying the organ failure, suggests that efficient therapies have to be developed, and applied early, not as a very known classical schema, but as a pathophysiological one, before the irreversible alterations to appear, and so to reduce death rates.
