Figure 8

Calculation of frequency of pathological values within pre-defined arterial blood glucose clusters. Values are given for increased cerebral oxygen consumption (jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjvO2) less than 60%), sustained anaerobic glycolysis (oxygen-glucose index (OGI) less than 6), and increased cerebral lactate production (negative lactate-glucose index (LGI)). With elevated arterial blood glucose the rate of increased cerebral oxygen consumption (SjvO2 less than 60%) was reduced which coincided with decreased rate of increased cerebral lactate production (negative LGI). However, frequency of anaerobic glycolysis (OGI less than 6) was increased.
