Following hemorrhagic shock,locally released chemotactic molecules attract neutrophils to rapidly migrate to the damaged tissues,while effectively bind,engulf and kill microorganisms,along with chromatin releasing and forming a substance deco-rated with a meshwork of microbicidal proteins and enzymes,a DNA-protein structure named neutrophil extracellular traps(NETs).The formation and degradation of NETs are regulated by multiple factors,and an imbalance in the formation and degradation of NETs plays a role in cellular damage and the aggregation of inflammatory factors,which is one of the main mechanisms of uncontrolled in-flammatory response and further aggravates organ damage.Studies have shown that NETs are involved in the process of hemorrhagic shock-induced organ damage,but the relevant mechanisms have not been fully elucidated.In this paper,we review the role of NETs in organ damage after hemorrhagic shock and the related mechanisms,and in order to understand the role of NETs and provide a refer-ence for new targets for the prevention and treatment of hemorrhagic shock.
