About this trial
The central venous-arterial carbon dioxide tension difference is used daily in intensive care to establish peripheral tissue hypoperfusion, mainly mediated by a low cardiac index.
The partial pressures of gases (oxygen, carbon dioxide) increase in the blood of patients breathing 100% oxygen in hyperbaric conditions.
Thus, the validity of this biomarker in situations of acute circulatory failure during a hyperbaric oxygen therapy session has not been established.
The objective of the study is therefore to establish the diagnostic performance of the central venous-arterial carbon dioxide tension difference in the diagnosis of a low cardiac index in patients with septic shock undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy for necrotizing fasciitis.
