Abstract:Introduction: Central venous oxygen saturation (SvcO 2) has been proposed as an alternative for mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO 2), with a variable level of acceptance according to available data. This study aimed to evaluate possible differences between SvO 2 and SvcO 2 or atrial venous saturation (SvaO 2), with emphasis on the role of cardiac output and their impact on clinical management of the septic patient. Methods: This is an observational, prospective study of patients with septic shock monitored b… Show more
