[Prognostic value of difference between peripheral venous and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide in patients with septic shock: a pilot study].
To evaluate the prognostic value of the difference between peripheral venous and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide in patients with septic shock following early resuscitation. ⋯ A high Ppv-aCO2 after early resuscitation of septic shock is associated with poor outcomes. Ppv-aCO2 is well correlated with Pcv-aCO2 and can be used as an independent indicator for predicting 28-day mortality in patients with septic shock.
