Relationship between Pulmonary Hemodynamics and Arterial pH and Carbon Dioxide Tension in Critically III Patients

摘要: To ascertain the clinical significance of derangements in arterial pH and carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) modifying pulmonary pressures vascular resistance critically ill patients, relationship between these two sets variables was evaluated 75 patients. No significant differences hemodynamic values were found among patients with acidemia, a normal pH, or alkalemia, even at extreme values; there no consistent PaCO2 each measurements. In who initially had but subsequently developed acidemia also correlation changes values. We conclude that abnormalities seriously are usually due to factors other than acid-base derangements. Of practical importance is observation predictability wedge pressure from diastolic not invalidated by disturbances.
