Evaluating tissue oxygenation at the bedside: global, regional, or both?

Jaume Mesquida. J Clin Monit Comput. 2015 Aug.

Abstract

Early recognition of tissue hypoperfusion, and monitoring tissue response to resuscitation interventions, are key points in the management of critically ill patients. In the present issue of J Clin Monit Comput, Dr. Koch and coworkers present the results of a study evaluating regional and global markers of tissue perfusion in a population of septic shock patients. We propose an integrative approach to tissue perfusion assessment, where combining both, global and regional variables, might account for a better understanding of tissue oxygenation status, and might prove useful for septic shock patients' management.
