Continuous Monitoring of Mixed Venous Oxygen Saturation

Anesthetic management of pediatric patients following fontan operation

“…Indeed, it may be helpful, because this value indirectly reflects cardiac output and is correlated with central venous pressure. However, since several factors including arterial saturation, hemoglobin, and oxygen consumption, affect this value [11], further data are be required to evaluate its sensitivity and efficacy.…”

Continuous Mixed Venous Oximetry in Critically Ill Surgical Patients

“…The underlying problems in these patients were as follows: general surgical (12), cardiac surgical (three), peripheral vascular (three), thoracic (one), and orthopedic (one). The indication for monitoring was cardiovascular support in 14 patients, respiratory support in five, and preoperative assessment in four high-risk patients.…”

Après circulation extra-corporelle, la mesure continue de la Svo2 et la co-oxymétrie du sang mêlé ne sont pas interchangeables

“…12 Aussi, lors des premières heures postopératoires la surveillance continue de la Svo 2 permet de diagnostiquer rapidement une hémorragie non extériorisée ou une tamponnade ou de monitorer minutieusement la période post-extubation. 13 De plus, chez les patients insuffisants cardiaques en stade III et IV de la classe NYHA, on peut raisonnablement penser que ce monitorage soit vraiment utile.…”
