Correlation between Central Venous Oxygen Saturation (Scv02) and Serum Lactate in Resuscitation of Severe Abdominal Sepsis Using Early Goal Directed Therapy Protocol

Introduction. Intraabdominal infection with severe sepsis is followed with high mortality. Sepsis leads to imbalance of systemic oxygen delivery and oxygen demand, resulting in global tissue hypoxia and anaerobic metabolism. A more definitive resuscitation strategy applies early goal directed therapy (EGDT) to achieve a balance between systemic oxygen delivery and oxygen demand within 6 hours. […]
