Excerpt

Central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) is increasingly used as a surrogate for mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2). On average, there is a positive gradient between ScvO2 and SvO2 that has been explained by the low inferior vena cava saturation (SivcO2). We aimed to clarify the dynamics and associations between different venous saturations in an experimental setting of porcine peritonitis. …
