Interpret mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) from pulmonary artery blood. Normal SvO2: 65-75%. Values below 65-70% indicate increased oxygen extraction (high demand or low cardiac output in heart failure, hypovolemic or cardiogenic shock). Values above 80% suggest sepsis (maldistribution), hepatic failure, or pulmonary shunting.
