    AbstractThe microcirculation includes all blood and lymph vessels with a diameter < 100 µm. Microcirculatory dysfunction is common in critically ill patients and is closely associated with both the severity of (multi-)organ dysfunction and mortality. The nature and extent of microcirculatory dysfunction differ depending on the underlying disease and are most pronounced in patients with systemic inflammation (e. g. sepsis), specific infections (e. g. malaria, dengue) or thrombocytopenia-associated multiple organ failure. This manuscript provides an overview of the pathophysiology, monitoring and therapy of microcirculatory dysfunction in the critically ill patient.Thieme. All rights reserved.
