The majority of potentially preventable mortality in trauma patients is related to bleeding;
therefore, early recognition and effective treatment of hemorrhagic shock impose a cardinal …

Introduction Early recognition and effective treatment of internal bleeding impose a cardinal
challenge for trauma teams. The reduction of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) blood …

The gastrointestinal (GI) system, is most vulnerable to hypoperfusion among the splanchnic
organs. Disturbed perfusion of the mesenteric area may lead to GI dysfunction, cause further …

Background: Internal hemorrhage is a medical emergency, which requires immediate causal
therapy, but the recognition may be difficult. The reactive changes of the mesenteric …

Background: Hemorrhage results in early compromise of splanchnic circulation. Studies
have shown that sublingual Pco 2 (SLCO2) correlates with gut perfusion. We tested …

Objectives: Methane (CH 4) breath test is an established diagnostic method for
gastrointestinal functional disorders. Our aim was to explore the possible link between …

BACKGROUND The diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia among intensive care unit
(ICU) patients continues to be difficult and carries high mortality, and yet, it is essential that it …

The splanchnic region may be at a higher risk of ischemia than other parts of the body.
When cardiac output decreases, adaptive mechanisms favor blood flow redistribution to the …

Determining the severity of acute mesenteric ischemia or reperfusion injury can be
problematic, as early visceral hypoperfusion is difficult to detect by traditional laboratory …
