Endothelium-dependent vasodilation in the skin microcirculation of patients with septic shock

The evidence for endothelial dysfunction in sepsis is mostly restricted to animal models. We investigated endothelial function in the skin microcirculation of eight patients hospitalized for septic shock in an intensive care unit (ICU). All patients required adrenergic support. Twelve hemodynamicall...
