FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves applying standard analyzer of gas composition and pH of the blood. Real oxygen consumption values are measured and expected values are calculated from a formula. Expected oxygen consumption = 143.1+0.202 OFI+ 6.65 PaCO2 - 0.0432 PaCO2 - 7.89 PvO2, where OFI is the oxygen flow index equal to product of oxygen concentration in arterial blood and heart index (ml m2/[min O2]), PaCO2 is the carbon dioxide stress in arterial blood in mm of mercury column, PvO2 is the carbon dioxide stress in mixed venous blood in mm of mercury column. When oxygen consumption deficit OCD= Expected Oxygen Consumption - Real Oxygen Consumption is greater than 25, disorder in oxygen consumption by tissues is to be diagnosed. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; accelerated treatment course; early stage prognosis of poisoning outcome. 1 tbl
