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 ...

To compare the effect of 'intermittent' central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO 2) monitoring with 'continuous' ScvO 2 monitoring on shock resolution and mortality in children with septic shock. We ...

This article presents a personal viewpoint of the shortcoming of conventional hemodynamic resuscitation procedures in achieving organ perfusion and tissue oxygenation following conditions of shock and ...

Early goal-directed therapy (EGDT) has been endorsed in the guidelines of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign as a key strategy to decrease mortality among patients presenting to the emergency department ...
