Description
Jooyun Kim and co-authors review in 2026 how clinicians can judge tissue starvation in shock without leaning only on blood pressure. Shock means the circulation fails to match oxygen delivery with the body's needs. Large vessels may look restored while the tiny vessels that feed cells stay poorly perfused, a split the authors call hemodynamic incoherence.
The review walks through clinical signs, blood chemistry markers, and device-based measures that reflect both levels of circulation. Each indicator is explained in terms of what it says about the body and where it helps decisions. Their framework supports checking several signals at once when diagnosing shock, estimating outlook, and guiding treatment for critically ill patients.
