Popis: We asked whether the relationship between oxygen delivery and oxygen consumption is different between patients who have sepsis and normal (n = 6) or increased (n = 8) concentrations of plasma lactate. We determined oxygen consumption using analysis of respiratory gases while increasing oxygen delivery using a dobutamine infusion. The relationship between oxygen delivery and consumption was y = 124 + 0.043 * x in the normal lactate group and y = 131 - 0.003 * x in the high lactate group (95% CI for differences in slopes, -0.003 to 0.096; por = 0.05 for slope, normal versus high lactate). In the normal lactate group, direct oxygen consumption increased by only 8 +/- 6 ml/min/m2 after dobutamine infusion (from 144 +/- 26 to 153 +/- 22 ml/min/m2, por = 0.02) despite an average increase of 220 +/- 80 ml/min/m2 in oxygen delivery (from 446 +/- 91 to 666 +/- 90 ml/min/m2, por = 0.01). The oxygen extraction ratio fell from 0.27 +/- 0.03 to 0.21 +/- 0.02 after dobutamine (por = 0.017). In the high lactate group, direct oxygen consumption decreased by 1 +/- 6 ml/min/m2 after dobutamine (from 131 +/- 33 to 130 +/- 35 ml/min/m2, p0.60) despite an average increase of 168 +/- 138 ml/min/m2 in oxygen delivery (from 467 +/- 194 to 635 +/- 300 ml/min/m2, por = 0.01). The oxygen extraction ratio fell from 0.30 +/- 0.14 to 0.26 +/- 0.12 after dobutamine (por = 0.01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
