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 …

Oct 24, 2011 · Abstract Shock is defi ned as global tissue hypoxia secondary to an imbalance between systemic oxygen delivery and oxygen demand. Venous oxygen saturations represent this …

Dec 1, 2015 · In a recent article, Balzer et al. [1] reported an unexpected relationship between an initial central venous oxygen saturation (S cv O 2) >80 % on ICU admission and increased morbidity and …

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 …

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), …

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 …

The use of central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) measurement has been proposed to guide fluid therapy [4]. The rationale behind assessing fluid responsiveness by ScvO2 is to identify patients on …

Oct 21, 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 …

Methods: We prospectively performed transthoracic echocardiography in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock and measured (1) left ventricular longitudinal strain from a four-chamber view and (2) …

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 …
