ScvO2 should not substitute for SvO2 in post-cardiac surgery ICU monitoring; leaves open need for outcome trials on venous oximetry strategies.
Does central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) accurately reflect mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) in ICU patients following cardiac surgery?
Central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) demonstrates poor agreement with mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) in post-cardiac surgery patients, indicating they cannot be used interchangeably.
