    AbstractBiotechnology has been important for the management of the critical ill patients. Today the treatment is expensive and even more with complications, this work has the purpose to find out about mortality and survival and the associated factors that could promote alterations in the outcome. The authors studied 247 admissions in a six months period, their mortality and survival. We investigated the relationship between the inflammatory systemic response syndrome, the multi systemic organ failure and sepsis, with mortality and survival. We concluded that there is a high mortality related to the septic syndrome. Prevention to avoid the septic syndrome, is the best way to lower the high cost in the intensive care units.
