Influence of perfusion status on central, mixed venous oxygen saturation in septic patients

Conclusions There is a moderate correlation between SvO2 and SvcO2; however, the concordance between them is inadequate. It was not possible to demonstrate that the presence of hypoperfusion alters the concordance between SvO2 and SvcO2. The use of SvO2 instead of SvcO2 may lead to changes in clinical management in a small but clinically relevant portion of patients.
