title: Cellular oxygen utilization during multiple organ failure.
abstract: Organ survival depends on adequate tissue oxygenation and normal metabolic function. In MSOF there are changes in O2 transport and cellular bioenergetics. These metabolic alterations may set in motion mechanisms of cellular damage that will affect microcirculatory control and the ability of the cell to maintain both function and homeostasis.
