Excerpt

Global tissue hypoxia as a result from systemic inflammatory response or circulatory failure is an important indicator of shock preceding multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). The development of MODS determines outcome of the septic patient [1]. Unrecognized and untreated global tissue hypoxia increases morbidity and mortality. Accurate detection of global tissue hypoxia is therefore of vital importance. Physical findings, conventional hemodynamic monitoring and urinary output are important factors, but usually fail at detecting global tissue hypoxia [2, 3]. …
