From: Persistently high venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide differences during early resuscitation are associated with poor outcomes in septic shock

Figure 4

Lactate clearance (%) 6 and 12 hours after Time 0 for patients with normal or high mixed venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference at 6 hours. Significant differences for lactate clearance (Time 0 (T0) to 6 hours later (T6) and T0 to 12 hours later (T12)) between patients with persistently high (that is, high-to-high and normal-to-high groups) and normalized mixed venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference at T6 (high-to-normal and persistently low groups). A negative percent clearance indicates a reduction in lactate levels. Black bars: High Pv-aCO2 at T6; Gray bars: Low Pv-aCO2 at T6.
