Early low DO2 associated with MOD after ruptured AAA repair; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective trials before practice change.
Does oxygen delivery (DO2) predict the occurrence of multiple organ dysfunction in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms?
Failure to achieve normal oxygen delivery in the first 8 hours after ruptured AAA repair is strongly associated with the development of multiple organ dysfunction and high mortality.
Peerless et al. (1998) studied this question.
