Some degree of recirculation occurs during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) which, (1) reduces oxygen (O2) delivery, and (2) renders venous line oxygen saturation monitoring ...

Cardiac index, SvO2 or pCO2 gap may determine benefit from ECMO in cardiogenic shock: post-hoc analysis of the multicenter, randomized ECMO-CS trial - Critical Care Background Immediate initiation of ...

Aeromedical transport presents unique challenges, as limited but critical care equipment must support a variety of patient scenarios. Clinical judgment and previous statistics are crucial for ...

Background: Mixed venous oxygen saturation (SVO2), a direct marker of circulatory adequacy measured in the pulmonary artery, has been proposed as a more immediate reflection of perfusion compared to ...

Abstract: Mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) can play a pivotal role for patient monitoring and treatment in critical care and cardiopulmonary medicine. Unfortunately, its continuous measurement ...
