From: Ratio of carbon dioxide veno-arterial difference to oxygen arterial-venous difference is not associated with lactate decrease after fluid bolus in critically ill patients with hyperlactatemia: results from a prospective observational study

Fig. 1

Changes in blood-lactate levels (Δ Lactate) during fluid bolus according to the baseline ratio of carbon dioxide veno-arterial difference to arterial-venous oxygen difference (PvaCO2/CavO2). Blue points: patients with increase in oxygen consumption (VO2) ≥ 15%, black points: patients with change in oxygen consumption < 15%. Vertical dotted line corresponds to PvaCO2/CavO2 of 1.4 mmHg/mL
