Excerpt

Splanchnic ischemia due to sepsis or hemorrhage is believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. In previous studies performed in our laboratory we have studied microcirculatory blood flow of the small intestinal mucosa in a porcine model of septic shock [1]. We have demonstrated that microcirculatory blood flow (MBF) was redistributed from the jejunal muscularis towards the mucosa. The aim of this study was to measure changes in MBF in the jejunum during stepwise occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). …
