Blood parameters were compared between two prognosis groups (survival vs death) by using Student's t-tests.
SD, standard deviation; BE, base excess of the extracellular fluid; tCO2, total carbon dioxide; HCO3−, bicarbonate; Na+, sodium; Glu, glucose; pCO2, partial pressure of carbon dioxide; Cl−, chloride; K+, potassium; Hct, hematocrit; Hb, hemoglobin; AnGap, anion gap; BUN, blood urea nitrogen.
