Abstract:
The barrier function is an important characteristic of the gut and an important determinant in the outcome of critically ill patients. Its workings are complex and it consists of epithelial, molecular, and immune components. The pathogenesis of gut dysfunction among critically ill patients is multifactorial. The purpose of this literature review is to provide a better understanding of the normal defense mechanisms of the gut, alterations associated with ischemia reperfusion injury, risk of infection, starvation and malnutrition and severe trauma, and potential therapies for gut dysfunction in critically ill patients.
