Abstract
Disturbances in the transport of O2 to the tissue is a cardinal feature of critically ill patients, be it as the result of hypoxia, multiple trauma with hemorrhade, or sepsis. Changes in tissue oxygenation set in motion a cascade of regulatory responses aimed at maintaining local homeostasis. These responses range from neural and humoral activity aimed at altering the flow pattern of the macrocirculation, to the release of various cytokines and substances that control microflow.
