Abstract:The use of central venous oxygen saturation (SvcO2) and arterial lactate
in the diagnosis of severe tissue hypoperfusion is well established, and the
optimization of these parameters is currently under investigation, particularly in
patients with severe sepsis/septic shock. However, the only place for deep venous
puncture or the first choice for puncture is often the femoral vein. Although venous
saturation obtained from blood sampling from this catheter, instead of
SvcO2, has already been used in the diagnosi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
