MICROCIRCULATION MONITORING IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT: MODERN METHODS AND CLINICAL PERSPECTIVES
Abstract
Microcirculation monitoring in the intensive care unit represents one of the key areas of modern critical care medicine, as disturbances in tissue perfusion and oxygenation are fundamental to the development of multiple organ failure in critically ill patients. Despite achieving target macrocirculatory parameters, a significant proportion of patients exhibit the so-called “hemodynamic incoherence” between macro- and microcirculation, which necessitates the implementation of methods for direct assessment of the microvascular bed.
