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].
