In the management of SIRS and MODS, which approach helps maintain tissue oxygenation?

A. Use solely mechanical ventilation: Mechanical ventilation is part of support, but it does not address other factors like oxygen consumption and perfusion. It’s not sufficient on its own. B. Decrease oxygen demand and increase oxygen delivery: This is the comprehensive goal in managing SIRS/MODS. It includes rest, sedation, pain control (to decrease demand) and oxygen therapy, fluids, inotropes, and blood products (to increase delivery). C. Ferritin transfusion: Ferritin is not transfused. It is an iron storage protein. This is not a therapy for oxygenation. D. Increase cardiac output only: While important, increasing cardiac output alone does not guarantee improved oxygenation if oxygen delivery and demand are not balanced.
