چکیده

INTRODUCTION The study sought to assess the feasibility and accuracy of measuring mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) through the left main bronchus (SpO2(trachea)) METHODS Twenty hybrid pigs of each sex were studied. After anesthesia, a Robertshaw double-lumen tracheal tube with a single-use pediatric pulse oximeter attached to the left lateral surface was introduced toward the left main bronchus of the pig by means of a fibrobronchoscope. Measurements of SpO2(trachea) and oxygen saturation from pulmonary artery samples (SvO2(blood)) were performed with an intracuff pressure of 0 to 60 cmH2O. After equilibration, hemorrhagic shock was induced in these pigs by bleeding to a mean arterial blood pressure of 40 mmHg. With the intracuff pressure maintained at 60 cmH2O, SpO2(trachea) and SvO2(blood) were obtained respectively during the pre-shock period, immediately after the onset of shock, 15 and 30 minutes after shock, and 15, 30, and 60 minutes after resuscitation. RESULTS SpO2(trachea) was the same as SvO2(blood) at an intracuff pressure of 10, 20, 40, and 60 cmH2O, but was reduced when the intracuff pressure was zero (p < 0.001 compared with SvO2(blood)) in hemodynamically stable states. Changes of SpO2(trachea) and SvO2(blood) corresponded with varieties of cardiac output during the hemorrhagic shock period. There was a significant correlation between the two methods at different time points. CONCLUSION Measurement of the left main bronchus SpO2 is feasible and provides similar readings to SvO2(blood) in hemodynamically stable or in low saturation states. Tracheal oximetry readings are not primarily derived from the tracheal mucosa. The technique merits further evaluation.

Validity of Peripheral Capillary Oxygen Saturation and Normal Mixed Venous Oxygen Tension in Measurement of O2 Content

Background The change in venous oxygen saturation occurs earlier, and even its reduction is faster than arterial oxygen saturation. The aim of this study was to validate SvO2 and PvO2 for O2 content measurement in children hospitalized w...

Usefulness of central venous oxygen saturation monitoring during bidirectional Glenn shunt.

A PediaSat™ oximetry catheter (PediaSat: Edwards Lifesciences Co., Ltd., Irvine, CA, U. S. A.), which facilitates continuous measurement of central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2), may be useful for surgery for pediatric congenital heart disease. We used PediaSat during a bidirectional Glenn shunt. The patient was a 13-month-old boy. Under a diagnosis of left single ventricle (pulmonary atresi...

Continuous monitoring of mixed venous oxygen saturation during aortic surgery.

The correlation between mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) and hemodynamic measurements was studied in 13 patients undergoing descending thoracic aortic aneurysm resection (DTAAR). A significant correlation (p less than 0.05) was found between cardiac index (CI) and SvO2 after the induction of anesthesia and at the end of surgery. However, no significant correlation could be found between Sv...

Correlation of mixed venous and central venous oxygen saturation and its relation to cardiac index

Background and Aim: The clinical applicability of substitution of central venous oxygen saturation for mixed venous oxygen saturations in monitoring global tissue hypoxia is still a matter of controversy. Hence aim of the study is comparison of paired samples of mixed venous and central venous oxygen saturation and comparison in relation to cardiac index in varying hemodynamic conditio s. Mater...

Severe Persistant Cyanosis in a Newborn Due to Prominent Eustachian Valve

ABSTRACTThe valves of right horn of systemic venous sinus are prominent structures within the right atrium during early embryonic period. Involution of these structures may not be complete, resulting in a spectrum of anatomical presentations such as cyanosis. A full-term male neonate referred to our hospital for precise evaluation of severe cyanosis on the first day of life. Echocardiographic e...
