Abstract
These findings indicate a systemic effect of the trauma. Further, it suggests a functional impairment of the relationship between microvascular blood flow and/or muscle metabolic processes when the trauma is directed towards the supplying blood vessel. The reason for this anaerobic insult as found in this study compared to the presence of a local increase in PtO2 in the trauma leg as shown in our previous study is suggestive of an microvascular blood flow and tissue metabolism uncoupling.
