Addressing the Complexity of Septic Microvascular Dysfunction: Shear Stress and Beyond

Share

1

Septic microvascular dysfunction involves leucocyte adhesion, coagulation, and endothelial shedding.
2

Shear stress influences adhesion and thrombosis, highlighting its role in septic microvascular dysfunction.
3

Biological and physical models complement each other in understanding complex processes like sepsis.
4

The shear model remains experimentally untested, and its relevance to sepsis requires further investigation.
5

The dominant theory of cytokine storm in sepsis has not improved patient outcomes despite extensive research.
