27. SvO2 less than 50% indicates anaerobic metabolism and development of acidosis
28.
29. If the SaO2 drops due to suctioning or the development of ARDS, what do you expect to happen to the SvO2?
30. If the SaO2 drops due to suctioning or the development of ARDS, what do you expect to happen to the SvO2? You would expect it to drop 88% - 25% = 63%
31. If you gave your patient a fluid bolus that they really needed (CVP 0, CI 1.8), what would you expect to happen to the SvO2?
32. If you gave your patient a fluid bolus that they really needed (CVP 0, CI 1.8), what would you expect to happen to the SvO2? Expect it to increase (if it’s low) or remain normal because the increase in CO means the tissues don’t need to extract more O2 than normal
