Abstract

Recent studies have demonstrated the importance of microcirculatory alterations in the early stage of sepsis [1–3]. The gastrointestinal tract, particularly perfusion of the splanchnic bed and the integrity of the gut mucosa, occupies a key position in the pathogenesis of multiple organ failure (MOF) in sepsis.
