Treatment of Acute Circulatory Failure Based on Carbon Dioxide-Oxygen (CO2-O2) Derived Indices: The Lactel Randomized Multicenter Study

ChestPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

Our results indicate that algorithm-based resuscitation using CO2-O2-derived indices did not improve lactate clearance or clinical outcomes compared with standard care.
