Why the study?

Does continuous measurement of ScvO2 accurately reflect SvO2 in patients during and after elective cardiac surgery?

Population

15 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery

Comparison

Continuous measurement of central venous oxygen… vs Simultaneous continuous measurement of mixed…

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

24 hours

Key result

Central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) is not interchangeable with mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) during and after cardiac surgery, demonstrating a mean bias of 4.4% (95% CI -13.6 to 22.3).

Overview

ScvO2 should not substitute for SvO2 in cardiac surgery monitoring; challenges equivalence assumptions and leaves open validation of optimal targets.

Study Design

Type

Observational (n=15)

Structured PICO

Does continuous measurement of ScvO2 accurately reflect SvO2 in patients during and after elective cardiac surgery?

P
Population
15 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with continuous SvO2 and ScvO2 measurements recorded each minute for 24 hours.
E
Exposure
Continuous measurement of central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) via central venous catheter
C
Comparator
Simultaneous continuous measurement of mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) via pulmonary artery catheter
O
Outcome
Agreement between ScvO2 and SvO2 measurements (mean bias and limits of agreement) over 24 hourssurrogate

Main Result

Mean Difference: 4.4 (95% CI -13.6–22.3)

Continuous measurements of central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) and mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) show considerable variability and cannot be used interchangeably in cardiac surgery patients.

Cite This Study

Sekkat et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Elective cardiac surgery (n=15). Central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) monitoring vs. Mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) monitoring was evaluated on Agreement between ScvO2 and SvO2 (Bland-Altman analysis) (Mean bias 4.4%, 95% CI -13.6 to 22.3). Central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) is not interchangeable with mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) during and after cardiac surgery, demonstrating a mean bias of 4.4% (95% CI -13.6 to 22.3).
