Is central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference combined with arterial-to-venous oxygen content difference associated with lactate evolution in the hemodynamic resuscitation process in early septic shock?
In a population of septic shock patients with normalized MAP and ScvO₂, the presence of elevated PcvaCO₂/CavO₂ ratio significantly reduced the odds of adequate lactate clearance during the following hours.
Phylogenetic relatedness may have an impact in terms of epidemiological control strategy. Our results and other recent studies suggest to re-evaluate the level of transmission between domestic dogs and humans.
