Table 1 Indices of sepsis-induced tissue hypoperfusion
From: Hemodynamic optimization of sepsis-induced tissue hypoperfusion
Measure | Details |
|---|---|
Indices of global hypoperfusion | Hypotension |
| Â | Tachycarda |
| Â | Oliguria |
| Â | Delayed capillary refill |
| Â | Clouded sensorium |
| Â | Elevated blood lactate |
| Â | Low mixed venous O2 saturation |
Indices of regional hypoperfusion | Markers of organ function |
|  |    Cardiac: myocardial ischemia |
|  |    Renal: decreased urine output, increased blood urea nitrogen and creatinine |
|  |    Hepatic: increased transaminases, increased lactate dehydrogenase, increased bilirubin |
|  |    Splanchnic: stress ulceration, ileus, malabsorbtion |
| Â | Direct assessment |
|  |    Tonometry: increased gastric mucosal CO2 tension |
|  |    Sublingual capnometry: increased sublingual CO2 tension |
|  |    Near infrared spectroscopy: decreased tissue O2 saturation |
|  |    Orthogonal polarization spectral imaging: low flow velocity score |
