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 ...

Introduction: Balance between oxygen delivery and demand is typically assessed based on venous oxyhemoglobin saturation (SvO2), which requires repeated blood sampling from a central location.
