Assessment of the Effect of Induced Hypothermia in Experimental Sepsis Using a Cecal Ligation and Perforation Mouse Model

Sepsis-induced organ failure is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. The onset of an exaggerated host response to microbial invasion and/or trauma, is believed to be the primary cause of excessive inflammation and the subsequent tissue hypoperfusion observed in patients with severe s...
