CASE STUDY

A 56 year old man with a history of ulcerative colitis who was diagnosed with a perforated bowel with faecal contamination. An urgent bowel resection was performed and the patient was subsequently transferred to ITU for management. During his stay in ITU the patient required high levels of inotropic support which resulted in the development of peripheral tissue necrosis.
