Excerpt

We would like to congratulate the Authors [1] for their interesting study and their effort to progressively determine the dominant factor (pH), among the many factors affecting PcvaCO2 and PcvaCO2/CavO2. Indeed, this is important also for clinical practice, because a busy ICU physician may be reluctant to deal with too many symbols, variables and equations, while simpler and well defined final messages are better accepted. …
