Clinical Trial: Central Venous vs Arterial Blood Gas and CO2 Gap in Critically Ill Patients With and Without Diabetes

U.S., Sept. 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07799727) titled 'Central Venous vs Arterial Blood Gas and CO2 Gap in Critically Ill Patients With and Without Diabetes' on Aug. 30.

Brief Summary: Frequent monitoring of acid-base status, ventilation, and tissue oxygenation is essential for managing critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). While arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis is considered the standard method for these evaluations, maintaining arterial catheters carries risks of complications, such as thrombosis, hematoma, and infection. Central venous blood gas (CVBG) analysis offers a safer alternative because central venous catheters are already routinely placed for patient ca...
