This study evaluated inflammatory, coagulation and microvascular responses to a continuous 24-h work day in 13 healthy intensive care physicians. Inflammatory markers (interleukin [IL]-2, IL-6, IL-10, tumour necrosis factor-?, matrix metalloproteinase [MMP]-9 and adiponectin), adhesion molecules (vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 [ICAM-1]), coagulation parameters (thrombin-anti thrombin, von Willebrand factor and tissue factor) and sublingual micro circulation were assessed before and after a 24-h work shift. The 24-h work shift had no effect on inflammatory markers and ICAM-1. Direct visualization of micro-circulation did not reveal stress-related perfusion abnormalities. A 24-h work shift in the intensive care unit was associated with significantly increased plasma levels of tissue factor - a potentially important mechanism linking acute job strain, haemostasis and atherosclerosis. The long-term consequences warrant further evaluation.
