Excerpt

Microdialysis (MD) is a bedside in vivo sampling technique that permits continuous analysis of a patient's interstitial fluid chemistry without consuming blood. As the interstitial fluid bathes the cells, its composition reflects the local metabolic activities of those cells, thus reflecting intracellular metabolic changes and disorders. In vivo MD is performed by implanting a commercially available catheter that mimics a blood capillary at the site of interest. In this study, we used MD to assess the metabolic changes of lipids in mechanically ventilated patients with sepsis. …
