Venous saturation is an important parameter to assess the ratio between oxygen delivery and oxygen consumption for both intensive care medicine and during perioperative care. Mixed venous saturation (SvO2) is the most reliable parameter in this setting. Due to the high invasiveness of measuring mixed venous saturation, the less invasive central venous saturation (ScvO2) has been entrenched for determining the balance of oxygen delivery and consumption. However, central venous saturation is inferior compared to mixed venous saturation as it does not cover the lower part of the body, including splanchnic perfusion. Nevertheless, studies have shown that central venous saturation is a reliable marker for goal-directed therapy in intensive care medicine, especially in patients with septic or hemorrhagic shock. Furthermore, central venous saturation has deep impact as a prognostic factor concerning morbidity and mortality. It has to be mentioned that not only decreased venous saturations but also elevated venous saturations are associated with poor outcome. Besides mixed venous and central venous saturation, intensivists and anesthesiologists focus on the central venous-arterial pCO2 difference (dCO2). An elevated dCO2 is associated with poor outcome in patients after cardiac surgery or patients with sepsis. Yet, further investigations have to be performed to implement the dCO2 as a reliable marker in daily routine.
