IMPLICATIONS: Insufficient splanchnic blood flow in critically ill patients is the result of a multitude of different diseases, treatment modalities and their interplay, and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. A combination of diminished and heterogeneous mesenteric blood flow, impaired or exhausted regulatory mechanisms and adverse drug effects may coexist with normal systemic hemodynamics.
