indomethacin and Multiple Organ Failure

indomethacin has been researched along with Multiple Organ Failure in 3 studies

Indomethacin: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) that inhibits CYCLOOXYGENASE, which is necessary for the formation of PROSTAGLANDINS and other AUTACOIDS. It also inhibits the motility of POLYMORPHONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES.
indometacin : A member of the class of indole-3-acetic acids that is indole-3-acetic acid in which the indole ring is substituted at positions 1, 2 and 5 by p-chlorobenzoyl, methyl, and methoxy groups, respectively. A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, it is used in the treatment of musculoskeletal and joint disorders including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, bursitis and tendinitis.

Multiple Organ Failure: A progressive condition usually characterized by combined failure of several organs such as the lungs, liver, kidney, along with some clotting mechanisms, usually postinjury or postoperative.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The aim of the study is to verify the efficacy of the pharmacological blockade of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in serious blunt chest injuries, and to identify whether the administration of indomethacin as a cyclooxygenase inhibitor could prevent a multiorgan dysfunction (MODS) and a multiorgan failure (MOF)."5.11Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in serious chest injuries: is a pharmacological blockade effective?
