Central Venous Oxygen Saturation for Estimating Mixed Venous Oxygen Saturation and Cardiac Index in the ICU: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Crit Care MedPublished Systematic review and meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy studies

Authors' conclusion

There is moderate reliability for Scv o2 in predicting Sv o2 in critical care patients with variability based on sampling site and presence of sepsis.
