Background: Although mixed venous O-2 saturation (SvO(2)) accurately indicates the balance of O-2 supply/demand and provides an index of tissue oxygenation, the use of a pulmonary artery (PA) catheter is associated with significant costs, risks and complications. Central venous O-2 saturation (ScvO(2)), obtained in a less risky and costly manner, can be an attractive alternative to SvO(2). Objectives: To investigate whether the values of ScvO(2) and SvO(2) are well correlated and interchangeable in the evaluation of critically ill ICU patients and to create an equation that could estimate SvO(2) from ScvO(2). Methods: Sixty-one mechanically ventilated patients were catheterized upon admission and ScvO(2) and SvO(2) values were simultaneously measured in the lower part of the superior vena cava and PA respectively. Results: SvO(2) was 68.6 +/- 1.2% (mean +/- SEM) and ScvO(2) was 69.4 +/- 1.1%. The difference is statistically significant (p < 0.03). The correlation coefficient r is 0.945 for the total population, 0.937 and 0.950 in surgical and medical patients, respectively. In 90.2% of patients the difference was
