Approach to Mesenteric Ischemia in the ICU
摘要
Acute mesenteric ischemia, characterized by reduced blood flow to the intestines, can lead to intestinal necrosis and sepsis if untreated. Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a high-mortality emergency, particularly when diagnosis and intervention are delayed. This chapter provides a step-by-step approach to managing AMI in the ICU, addressing the early identification of symptoms, diagnostic steps, and specific management pathways based on patient presentation [1] [Ref: Algorithm 36.1].
