Abstract

With the development of the theory of hemodynamic incoherence, the microcirculation has been found to be of great significance in the occurrence, development, and prognosis of septic shock. The key to multiple organ failure caused by septic shock is microcirculatory dysfunction, and organ failure is closely related to the mortality of septic shock. Therefore, microcirculation assessment has become a key focus in patients with septic shock. This article introduces the concept of microcirculation and the pathophysiology of microcirculatory disorders, reviews the current application status of commonly used clinical microcirculation monitoring indicators and techniques in septic shock, and points out the shortcomings and future prospects of microcirculation monitoring, aiming to provide new perspectives for the practice and scientific research of microcirculation monitoring in septic shock.
