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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sepsis remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, challenging clinicians with its complex pathophysiology and dynamic clinical course. In the pursuit of more accurate and timely ...

Sepis vs Cardiogenic Shock- Patients with low SvO2 can be either fluid responsive in cases of hypovolemic shock or fluid unresponsive in cases of cardiogenic shock. In the study by Velissaris and ...
