Septic patients need a prompt normalization of macrohemodynamic parameters. Unfortunately, this optimization sometimes does not protect from organ failure development. in addition, there are data showing that microcirculatory dysfunction and Cellular metabolic alterations associated with mortality can fuel tissue distress leading to [1].
