bound to hemoglobin in blood
SVO2 returning to the right side of the
heart. This refects the amount of
oxygen "left over" after the tissues
remove what they need.
SVO2 Normal >60%
Inadequate oxygen delivery or
Low SVO2 increased oxygen consumption
Ex: fever, pain, bleeding, infection
increase in CO, decrease in oxygen
demand, reduction in oxygen
High SVO2
