Changes in central venous to arterial carbon dioxide gap (PCO(2) gap) in response to acute changes in ventilation

BACKGROUND: Early diagnosis of shock is a predetermining factor for a good prognosis in intensive care. An elevated central venous to arterial PCO(2) difference (∆PCO(2)) over 0.8 kPa (6 mm Hg) is indicative of low blood flow states. Disturbances around the time of blood sampling could result in ina...
