More Information
Summary:The present invention relates to a method of identifying or monitoring circulatory failure in a subject, which method comprises assessing the subject's microcirculation in respect of the following parameters:(a) functional capillary density (FCD);(b) heterogeneity of the FCD;(c) capillary flow velocity;(d) heterogeneity of capillary flow velocity;(e) oxygen saturation of microvascular erythrocytes (SmvO2); and(f) heterogeneity of SmvO2;wherein parameters (a) to (d) are assessed visually by microscopy and parameters (e) and (f) are assessed by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS); as well as apparatus and software designed for performance of such a method.
