GAP DE CO2 NORMAL EN EL PACIENTE INESTABLE ¿QUÉ VIENE LUEGO

A Delta PCO₂ of 6 in an unstable patient: what to change and what not to change. The venoarterial CO₂ gap is not a marker of tissue hypoxia. It's a marker of whether blood flow is sufficient to wash away the CO₂ produced by the tissues. This distinction completely changes management. In this installment: what to do with a gap greater than 6, what to do with a normal gap and lactate that doesn't decrease, the scenario of normal ScvO₂ with an open gap, and the four reasons why you shouldn't read it in isolation. Including the randomized trial that found no benefit in the outcome. For intensivists, anesthesiologists, and emergency physicians. Comment ASCLEPIUS and join our WhatsApp channel.
