What this Trial Is About
The ratio of the venous-arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure difference to the arteriovenous oxygen content difference (Pv-aCO₂/Ca-vO₂) may be a marker of anaerobic metabolism in patients with acute circulatory failure. This study aims to assess the prognostic value of the PvCO2-PaCO2/CaO2-CvO2 in the early phase of septic shock.
