This study evaluates differences in the ocular microcirculation between septic patients and healthy subjects and the course of ocular microvasculature in survivors and non-survivors over a 24 hours period of time in septic patients
Conjunctival imaging, using IDF video microscope, and retinal imaging, using portable digital fundus camera, as well as systemic hemodynamic measurements, were performed in septic patients at three time points: at baseline, 6 hours and 24 hours. Baseline conjunctival and retinal microcirculatory parameters were compared with healthy controls.
