SvO2 monitoring: tool for evaluating patient outcomes

J L Cathelyn et al. Dimens Crit Care Nurs. 1998 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

Assessment of this value represents an important vital sign for oxygen supply and demand balance for the critical care patient. Nurses can use SvO2 monitoring to assess outcomes of therapy.
