Central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference in the early postoperative care following liver transplantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction The early postoperative period after liver transplantation is characterized by a complex hemodynamic situation, due to the interaction of multiple factors, as the persistence of the hyperdynamic circulation or the increase of lactate blood levels because of the impaired hepatic clearance.The central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference (PCVACO2 gap) has been proposed to better identify patients with persistent global hypoperfusion.

End-tidal Carbon Dioxide Measurements in Unintentional Non-Fire-Related Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Background: Poisoning with carbon monoxide occurs occasionally worldwide, and the gold diagnostic standard is to measure carboxyhemoglobin level in the blood. This study investigated the correlation between carboxyhemoglobin and the end-tidal carbon dioxide levels in 50 patients with carbon monoxide poisoning. Methods: We recruited 50 volunteer patients who had been admitted to the Emergency S...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical relevance of high values of central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference (PCO2 gap) in high-risk surgical patients admitted to a postoperative ICU. We hypothesized that PCO2 gap could serve as a useful tool to identify patients still requiring hemodynamic optimization at ICU admission. METHODS One hundred and fifteen ...

INTRODUCTION Since normal or high central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO₂) values cannot discriminate if tissue perfusion is adequate, integrating other markers of tissue hypoxia, such as central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference (PcvaCO₂ gap) has been proposed. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the ability of the PcvaCO₂ gap and the PcvaCO₂/arterial-venous oxygen content di...

As surgical and graft preservation techniques have improved and immunosuppressive drugs have advanced, liver transplantation (LT) is now considered the gold standard for treating patients with end-stage liver disease worldwide. However, despite the improved survival following LT, severe hemodynamic disturbances during LT remain a serious issue for the anesthesiologist. The greatest hemodynamic ...

CONTEXT The partial pressure of venous to arterial carbon dioxide gradient (PCO2 gap) is considered as an alternative marker of tissue hypoperfusion and has been used to guide treatment for shock. AIMS The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference during early resuscitation of patients with septic shock and compared it with that ...
