Excerpt

Since the landmark paper by De Backer et al. [1], numerous studies have addressed microcirculatory dysfunction in septic shock, established its pathophysiological relevance, and demonstrated the prognostic impact of persistent abnormalities [2‐5]. Sublingual microcirculation, which is easy to access with video-microscopic techniques, is the most frequently explored territory in humans. Although up to now these techniques are only recommended for research purposes, continuous technological refinements will probably make them available at the bedside in the future. …
