Venoarterial PCO2 Difference /Arteriovenous O2 Content Difference Ratio as Goal of Early Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock Therapy

Reducing tissue hypoxia is the ultimate goal of severe sepsis and septic shock therapy.Venoarterial PCO2 difference /arteriovenous O2 content difference ratio (△PCO2/Ca-vO2) is considered to be a good indicator of global anaerobic metabolism.The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of △PCO2/Ca-vO2 and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) in the treatment of severe sepsis and septic shock.
