Accuracy of continuous oximetry monitoring using reflectance oximetry via fiberoptics has been assessed both in vitro and in vivo. Most of the studies testing agreement between continuous SVO2 measurements and pulmonary arterial blood samples measured by standard oximetry have shown good correlation. Continuous SVO2 monitoring is often used in the management of critically ill patients.
This ability to view simultaneous trends of SVO2 and right ventricular performance parameters will probably allow the clinician to graphically see the impact of volume loading or inotropic therapy over time, as well as the influence of multiple factors, including right ventricular dysfunction, on SVO2.
This is an ominous finding, suggesting that the tissues are unable to extract. It can be seen in late septic shock, or in cell poisoning such as cyanide. Cardiac output is routinely measured to evaluate drug effectiveness. Unfortunately, the cardiac output measurement only gives us a value, it does not indicate whether the measured cardiac output is meeting the patient's needs.
For some individuals, a cardiac output that falls below the normal range may be adequte, whereas for others, a normal or elevated cardiac output value may be too low.
An SvO2 in the normal range, along with a normal lactate, suggests that the cardiac output is adequate. SVO2 can be very helpful when attempting to determine whether a change in therapy is beneficial.
Measuring SvO2 before and after a change can assist in determining whether the therapy made the patient better or worse. SvO2 can also be useful when evaluating changes to ventilator therapy, especially in unstable patients. Changes may be made to the ventilator to increase the oxygen content of the blood, which is important to the total oxygen delivery cardiac ouptut X oxygen content.
Tissue oxygen need is met when the amount of oxygen being delivered to the tissues is sufficient to meet the amount of oxygen being consumed VO2. When the oxygen delivery falls below oxygen consumption needs, lactic acidosis develops. Critical Care Trauma Centre. SvO2 mixed venous oxygen saturation or ScvO2 central venous oxygen saturation What is it?
What does it tell us? What are the normal values? How do I use this information clinically? If the amount of oxygen being received by the tissues falls below the amount of oxygen required because of an increased need, or decreased supply , the body attempts to compensate as follows: First Compensation: Cardiac Output increases The cardiac output is increased in an effort to increase the amount of oxygen being delivered to the tissues as shown below.
Tissues begin to remove or extract a higher percentage of oxygen from the arterial blood. Compare this product. Go to the Spacelabs Healthcare website for more information. Characteristics Measured parameter SvO2. Description Venous O2 saturation monitoring is increasingly used in critically ill patients, often as part of an early goal-directed therapy protocol or in sepsis screening, to aid in the assessment of cardiovascular and respiratory compromise.
Mixed venous oxygen saturation SvO2 and central venous oxygen saturation ScvO2 are used to assess the balance of oxygen delivery and consumption.
