Trauma, the number one cause of death until the fourth decade of life, causes an inflammatory response. This response in its extreme is associated with the development of the systemic inflammatory state, adult respiratory distress syndrome, multi-organ failure, and death. The inflammatory response is mediated via multiple pathways- the inflammatory-cytokine, immunologic, coagulation and endocrine pathways. It is countered by producing antiinflammatory mediators. This reaction is altered in elderly patients. Knowledge of the patient's prior medical problems and the differential diagnosis for the possible causes of the current condition should help direct the surgical intervention and supportive care in an attempt to stabilize the patient. With the improvement of monitoring and diagnostic technologies, understanding the significance of the inflammatory pathways in trauma patients will decrease morbidity and mortality in this group of patients.
