    AbstractThe routinely monitored variables in shock stages include: arterial pressure, heart rate, central venous pressure, pulmonary artery wedge pressure and cardiac index. With vigorous therapy it is possible to bring these values back into the normal range in both survivors and nonsurvivors. The therapeutic goal in septic shock stages is to maximize the values of cardiac index, O2 delivery (DO2) and O2 consumption (CO2). The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between O2 delivery and O2 consumption as an early sign of hypoxia. Fifteen patients with septic shock were treated in order to maximize the value of CI, DO2 and VO2. We compared the levels of these parameters between the survivors and nonsurvivors and found no significant differences after 24 hours. High levels of DO2 and VO2 do not exclude tissue hypoxia in the early stage of septic shock.
