Abstract
Inadequate microcirculation in sepsis and shock causes tissue injury. In this chapter the small intestinal circulation will be used as an example of such tissue injury. The selection of the small intestine as an example is made for two reasons: this organ represents those that early suffer from inadequate microcirculation in critical illness and, moreover, the consequences of gut tissue injury are thought to be of significant importance for the further development into multiple organ dysfunction.
