Haemodynamics, cerebral perfusion, and respiratory parameters
Sepsis-associated delirium | No sepsis-associated delirium | P value | |
Mean arterial pressure, mm Hg | 75 (57–87) | 85 (73–94) | 0.1 |
FV, cm/second | 76 (40–97) | 48 (45–98) | 0.3 |
Cerebral TOI, percentage | 59 (49–74) | 65 (59–69) | 0.2 |
SaO2, percentage | 97 (91–100) | 99 (93–100) | 0.2 |
PaCO2, kPa | 5.4 (3.7–9.4) | 5.3 (4.5–5.5) | 0.7 |
Ear temperature, °C | 37.1 (35.0–38.6) | 37.3 (36.3–38.5) | 0.5 |
All values are shown as median (range) and represent means of data collected during a 60-minute measurement. FV, cerebral blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery; PaCO2, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide; SaO2, arterial oxygen saturation; TOI, tissue oxygenation index. TOI and FV are averaged values from both cerebral hemispheres. P values were calculated with the Mann-Whitney U test.
