About this document

Sepsis-Induced Cardiovascular Changes by Arief is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1) Sepsis is a leading cause of death in the ICU and commonly causes structural and functional changes to the heart, including systolic and diastolic impairment. 2) Vascular changes in sepsis include increased permeability, coagulopathy, and impaired endothelial function due to an imbalance of nitric oxide. 3) The glycocalyx layer of endothelial cells, which acts as a barrier and mechanotransducer, is damaged by sepsis, exacerbating vascular permeability and dysfunction.
