We are still using ScvO2 but the recent study suggests and controversy is using 
Lactate clearance as an indicator.  See:
 
Lactate clearance vs central venous oxygen saturation as goals of early sepsis 
therapy: a randomized clinical trial.

We have stopped inserting this catheter. We found it was more work for staff in 
the ED to calibrate. Our intensivists will order a mixed venous to measure 
ScVo2.

Greetings All

Is the Rivers paper from 2001 something that we still stick by?  I just had a 
look at the methods section and it seems the only thing different from 
"standard care (which involved CVP, MAP and UO monitoring) was measurement of 
central venous O2 sats.

Is SVO2 still something that's routinely looked after?  I had a feeling this 
paper had been "superceded" in some way.
Thanks very much indeed
