ScvO2 — Central Venous Oxygen Saturation Interpretation

Interpret central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) measured from the superior vena cava to assess oxygen supply-demand balance and guide early goal-directed therapy in sepsis and shock.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Interpret central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) measured from the superior vena cava to assess oxygen supply-demand balance and guide early goal-directed therapy in sepsis and shock

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Superior vena cava — The superior vena cava recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the scvo2 assessment result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the superior vena cava for the scenario you are assessing. Interpret central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) measured from the superior vena cava to assess oxygen supply-demand balance and guide early goal-directed therapy in sepsis and shock. Use the scvo2 assessment result to inform your calculation.
