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.

Invasive cardiac output monitoring Th e PAC was the clinical standard for cardiac output monitoring for more than 20 years and the technique has been extensively investigated. Its complications are well …

ssure, heart rate, base deficit or lactate measurement. This finding and the correlation of ScvO2 with complications illustrate why it may be important that these high risk patients receiv

Aug 4, 2017 · It is not clear why the authors performed a non-inferiority trial (NIT) whereas the primary objective of the study was to establish whether the lactate strategy was “superior” to the ScvO 2 …

Nov 8, 2005 · 2 disturbances is complex. The value of ScvO2 is determined by changes in oxygen delivery and consumption, both of which are subject to considerable variation during the peri …

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine whether the degree of fluid responsiveness in critically ill septic patients is related to baseline mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) levels. We …
