Definition Mixed venous saturation can help assess tissue oxygen delivery. By using the derivation of the Fick equation, the mixed venous saturation can be determined by:   SvO2 = SaO2 – [(VO2) / (Hb x 1.36 x Q)] SvO2: mixed venous saturation SaO2: arterial oxygen saturation VO2: oxygen consumption Hg: hemoglobin Q: cardiac output From […]
