Boxplots of microcirculation parameters in healthy controls and septic patients. a MFI and b PPV values revealed a damaged microcirculation in the ICU septic population. c The measured PVD tended to be lower in septic patients compared to the healthy controls. ICU, intensive care unit; MFI, microvascular flow index; PPV, proportion of perfused vessels; PVD, perfused vessel density
