Hemorrhagic Shock and Resuscitation Causes Glycocalyx Shedding and Endothelial Oxidative Stress Preferentially in the Lung and Intestinal Vasculature
Conclusions:
We conclude that the endothelium in the lungs and intestine are particularly susceptible to the oxidative stress of hemorrhage-resuscitation, as well as the resulting glycocalyx disruption. Thus, these two vessel beds may be important drivers of coagulopathy in trauma patients.
