Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Predict the development of multiple organ failure in patients with trauma and severe burns.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Other: micro-imaging
N/A

Detailed Description

Microvascular alterations are frequently seen in patients with sepsis, trauma, burns and those who are hemodynamically uncompensated(Shock).

The use of the Microscan is a non-invasive approach to visualize and assess impaired mucosal microcirculation in order to identify early on patients who are predisposed for MOF (multiple organ failure)
