Comparative Study[The clinical characteristics of systemic sclerosis-related pulmonary arterial hypertension].
To study the clinical, cardiopulmonary functional and hemodynamic profiles of systemic sclerosis patients with pulmonary hypertension (SSc-PAH) compared with those of idiopathic pulmonary hypertension (IPAH). ⋯ Under the similar hemodynamic condition, SSc-PAH patients had more severe restrictive ventilation dysfunction and diffusion capacity dysfunction. Decreased 6MWD in SSc-PAH patients was probably related to the impairment of pulmonary function.

[The role of end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure in fluid responsiveness assessment in septic shock patient].
To assess whether end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PETCO2) can predict the fluid responsiveness in septic shock patients. ⋯ The changes of PETCO2 induced by a fluid challenge test can predict fluid responsiveness with reliability, and have a better sensitivity and specificity than the changes of PP.
