Feasibility suggested in one case; leaves open prospective validation of O2Sat sensors for rate-adaptive pacing.
Does a central venous oxygen saturation sensor provide reliable long-term rate adaptive cardiac pacing in pacemaker patients?
A central venous oxygen saturation sensor for rate adaptive pacing demonstrates reliable long-term performance and correlates well with invasive right ventricular blood samples.
Færestrand et al. (1994) studied this question.
