Venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) measures the blood's oxygen content returning to the right side of the heart after perfusing the entire body. When the oxygen supply is insufficient to meet the ...

Discrepancies of 5-24% between superior vena cava oxygen saturation (ScvO2) and mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) have been reported in patients with severe heart failure. Thenar muscle tissue ...

Ostadal P, Vondrakova D, Rokyta R, Karasek J, Kruger A, Janotka M, et al. Cardiac index, SvO2 or pCO2 gap may determine benefit from ECMO in cardiogenic shock: post-hoc analysis of the multicenter, ...

Background: Mixed venous oxygen saturation (SVO2), a direct marker of circulatory adequacy measured in the pulmonary artery, has been proposed as a more immediate reflection of perfusion compared to ...
