Acidosis as a promising early indicator of mortality among point-of-care parameters and vital signs in non-traumatic critically ill patients
Our study highlights important parameters for the assessment of critically ill patients at ED admission that are helpful for formulating immediate medical decisions. Acidosis on the initial BGA appears to be a relevant prognostic marker for mortality in critically ill, non-traumatic patients and may aid in early risk assessment, regardless of the underlying condition. Early detection of acidosis could facilitate rapid decision-making and timely identification of patients requiring intensive care.
