Sublingual PCO2 correlates with shock markers in rats; leaves open validation and clinical utility in human circulatory shock.
Does sublingual PCO2 measurement accurately reflect the severity of circulatory shock in rat models?
Sublingual PCO2 measurement is a promising, simple, noninvasive method to quantify the severity of circulatory shock.
