Can Mixed Venous Hemoglobin Oxygen Saturation Be Estimated Using a NICO Monitor
Anesthesia & Analgesia, 06/24/09

Kotake Y et al. - SvO2 derived from the values measured by the NICO monitor cannot be used interchangeably with the values measured spectrophotometrically using the pulmonary artery catheter. More refinement is required to obtain more reliable estimate of SvO2 less invasively. However, large changes of SvO2 may be detected with this method and can be used as a precautionary sign when the balance between oxygen supply and demand is compromised without inserting a central venous catheter.
