Accuracy and precision of ScvO2 measured with the CeVOX-device: A prospective study in patients with a wide variation of ScvO2-values

摘要

IntroductionCentral-venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) is a key parameter of hemodynamic monitoring and has been suggested as therapeutic goal for resuscitation. Several devices offer continuous monitoring features. The CeVOX-device (Pulsion Medical Systems) uses a fibre-optic probe inserted through a conventional central-venous catheter (CVC) to obtain continuous ScvO2.
