Observational StudyEvaluation of Venous-to-Arterial Carbon Dioxide Tension Difference as a Complementary Parameter During Pediatric Septic Shock Resuscitation: A Prospective Observational Study.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide tension difference during early resuscitation in pediatric septic shock. ⋯ Delta Pco2 after 6 hours of resuscitation of <6 mm Hg indicates normalization of tissue perfusion during pediatric septic shock management. It could be used as a complementary tool to guide the resuscitation in the early phase of pediatric septic shock.
