Lactate Clearance versus ScvO2 Monitoring in Severe Sepsis
Resuscitation targets in severe sepsis include: preload, e.g. CVP; afterload, e.g. MAP; tissue oxygen delivery; end point controversial: ScvO2 vs lactate clearance
Tag ScvO2 Monitoring
Central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2)
Central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) surrogate for SvO2 thus provides a surrogate measure of oxygen flux, reflecting the balance between oxygen delivery (DO2) and consumption (VO2).
