[Prognostic value of oxygen metabolism indices in the diffuse purulent peritonitis complicated by sepsis]

There were the results of examination of 42 patients with diffuse purulent peritonitis, complicated by sepsis, analyzed. High risk of the oxygen debt, occurring due to limitation of the oxygen delivery to tissues, was noted. Normalization of delivery consumption ratio of oxygen and elimination of the oxygen debt in the early course of the disease are needed for the disease severity reduction and the mortality lowering.
