Abstract

ABSTRACT: This article analyses the cardiovascular changes typically present in a patient with a gastric dilation volvulus. This pathogenesis results in the reduction of oxygen delivery to tissues through hypoperfusion, the translocation of GI bacteria and the release of proinflammatory cytokines. By highlighting these physiological changes, in an emergency case that can be seen at most practices, this article will aid more complete monitoring. This monitoring facilitates appropriate interventions and gives a more comprehensive outline of circulatory consequences.
