Excerpt

Visceral ischemia and macrophage activation are early signs in the development of shock and multiorgan failure. Activated macrophages produce proinflammatory cytokines (like TNF-α) that generate an inflammatory reaction. If the inhibition of this reaction (mainly by IL-10) is not strong enough, cascade systems will be activated; shock and multiorgan failure will be the result. The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability and safety of intraperitoneal microdialysis and to find out whether early visceral ischemia can be detected. …
