abstract：:Alterations in peripheral vascular tone are presumed to contribute to circulatory failure during severe sepsis. Decreased venous tone with venous pooling may decrease effective circulatory blood volume, while decreased arterial tone with redistribution of systemic blood may compromise tissue nutrient flow.
