Since CO is not routinely monitored in daily practice, some authors have suggested that certain metabolic vari-ables, such as central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2), could serve as indirect …

Nov 6, 2014 · Introduction In septic shock patients, the prevalence of low (<70%) central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) on admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and its relationship to outcome are …

Introduction: Current guidelines recommend maintaining central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) higher than 70% in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. As high levels of ScvO2 may reflect …

In a recent article, Balzer et al. [1] reported an unex-pected relationship between an initial central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) >80 % on ICU admission and increased morbidity and mortality in cardiac …

Background Low mixed or central venous saturation (S(c)vO2) can reveal global tissue hypoxia and therefore can predict poor prognosis in critically ill patients. Early goal directed therapy (EGDT), …

Aug 3, 2009 · Abstract A recent multicentre observational study examined the effect of emergency intubation on central venous oxygen saturation (SCVo2) in critically ill patients. The main finding was …

May 27, 2005 · A recent trial utilizing central venous oxygen saturation (SCVO2) as a resuscitation marker in patients with sepsis has resulted in its inclusion in the Surviving Sepsis Campaign …

Aug 3, 2009 · A recent multicentre observational study examined the effect of emergency intubation on central venous oxygen saturation (SCVo2) in critically ill patients. The main finding was that SCVo2 …

It is reasonable, therefore, to propose that the low ScvO2 values reported in the study of Rivers et al. reflected work by the muscles of respiration and not sepsis-associated systemic tissue dysoxia.

Dec 15, 2006 · Measurements of central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) have been successfully used to guide haemodynamic therapy in critical care. The efficacy of this approach in the treatment …
