PY - 2016 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part Two Advanced Exam AB - Mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) is a measurement of whole body oxygenation. Mixed venous blood in measured in the pulmonary artery to sample deoxygenated blood entering the pulmonary artery before passing through the lungs. The pulmonary artery receives a mixture of blood from the superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, and coronary sinus. It serves as a sample of whole body oxygen utilization. Pulmonary artery blood can be sampled periodically by withdrawing blood through a pulmonary artery catheter or continuously with an oximetric Swan–Ganz catheter.
