Veno-Arterial Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide Difference as a Metric of Systemic Oxygen Delivery: Insights from a Correlative Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: The assessment of cardiac output and adequacy of systemic oxygen delivery in children after cardiac surgery require the use of an aggregate of hemodynamic monitors and blood tests. There are previously published data regarding the utility of the veno-arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide difference (AVDco2) to help with this. This study pooled data on the correlation of AVDco2 with other metrics of cardiac output and systemic oxygen delivery such as arteriovenous oxygen saturation difference, venous saturation, and serum lactate. A systematic review of the literature was done to identify studies analyzing the correlation of AVDco2 with other hemodynamic and laboratory values. Data were extracted, and correlation coefficients were pooled for each specific comparison to create a point
