[Variations of P50 during hemodilution in critical patients]. / Variazioni della P50 in corso di emodiluizione nei pazienti critici.

The Authors analyse the problem about O2 transportation throughout the tissues and report the P50 values based upon two homogenous groups of shocked patients; the first polytransfused, the second hemodilutioned. An increased P50 among hemodilutioned patients appears to be significant.
