Excerpt

We hypothesized that epinephrine (EPI) as opposed to norepinephrine (NE) has selective adverse effects on visceral perfusion when used to treat hypotensive endotoxin shock. We specifically wanted to test the hypothesis that perfusion deficiency could be detected by regional venous to arterial CO₂ content gradients (as opposed to pCO₂ gradients). …
