Monitoring of Conjunctival Microcirculation Reflects Sublingual Microcirculation in Ovine Septic and Hemorrhagic Shock

Introduction: The conjunctival region may serve as an alternative site for microcirculatory measurements. The present study was performed to investigate the correlation of sublingual and conjunctival microcirculation in ovine models of septic and hemorrhagic shock. Methods: Septic shock was induced in 10 sheep by inoculation of feces into the peritoneal cavity until mean arterial pressure (MAP) was
