Key result
Maximum central venous oxygen saturation during the first 3 days in the ICU was significantly higher in patients who died in the hospital compared to those who survived (85% vs 79%, P=0.009).
Why the study?
Are high levels of central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) associated with mortality in patients with septic shock?
Are high levels of central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) associated with mortality in patients with septic shock?
Absolute Event Rate: 85% vs 79%

This editorial highlights findings that high ScvO2 levels may be associated with mortality in septic shock, challenging the traditional notion that shock therapy should aim to increase ScvO2.
Haase et al. (2011) conducted an editorial in Septic shock. In-hospital mortality (non-survivors) vs. Survivors was evaluated on Maximum central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) (p=0.009). Maximum central venous oxygen saturation during the first 3 days in the ICU was significantly higher in patients who died in the hospital compared to those who survived (85% vs 79%, P=0.009).
