Excerpt

Microvascular dysfunction and inadequate delivery of oxygen to the tissues is a feature of septic shock. The degree of this microcirculatory impairment has not been assessed in the early phases of Emergency Department (ED) sepsis management. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between tissue oxygen saturation (StO₂) and conventional vital signs and in-hospital mortality for ED patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. …
