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.
