A recent report suggested that, for hypotensive patients, tissue acidemia is best monitored by simultaneous estimates of arterial pH, mixed venous pH, and bicarbonate. This method of detecting tissue acidemia may therefore apply to fulminant hepatic failure patients, who are known to have a high frequency of covert tissue hypoxia. In the present study, both arterial pH and mixed venous pH and bicarbonate were compared in 22 patients with fulminant hepatic failure. Blood samples were drawn from the pulmonary artery and radial artery and this blood was analyzed to determine oxygen delivery and consumption. The arterial pH, mixed venous pH, and bicarbonate were compared using an oxygen flux test to determine the optimal method of demonstrating tissue hypoxia in this group of patients.
