Résumé

Acidemia has been long thought to lead to hemodynamic compromise. While some literature to date challenges this idea, there is no consensus on this topic. To our knowledge, this is the most severe case of hypercapnia and acidosis due to carbon dioxide (CO This raises the question, in patients with severe acidosis and hemodynamic compromise, is acidosis a symptom of the underlying process, or is the acidosis itself causing harm?

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Acidemia has been long thought to lead to hemodynamic compromise. While some literature to date challenges this idea, there is no consensus on this topic.
CASE SUMMARY METHODS
To our knowledge, this is the most severe case of hypercapnia and acidosis due to carbon dioxide (CO
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
This raises the question, in patients with severe acidosis and hemodynamic compromise, is acidosis a symptom of the underlying process, or is the acidosis itself causing harm?
