Excerpt

Measurement of the gastric-mucosal tonometry difference is an indicator of splanchnic hypoxia, which often is a predictor of severe clinical complications like inflammation and/or sepsis. Beyond these aspects other biochemical indicators like procalcitonin (PCT), lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP), or IL-6 are suitable diagnostic markers. Therefore the hypothesis occurs whether there is a correlation between gastric tonometry and biochemical indicators of inflammation. …
