Comparative Evaluation of Central Venous Oxygen Saturation, Carbon Dioxide Venous Arterial Gradient, and Lactate Levels as Markers of Tissue Perfusion After Cardiac Surgery: A Prospective Exploratory Observational Study
2026-07-10
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Objective</h4> This study aims to identify which markers of tissue hypoperfusion—specifically lactate levels, central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO 2 ), and venous arterial carbon dioxide gradient (CO 2 gradient)—have the highest sensitivity and specificity in predicting the discharge of postoperative cardiac surgical patients from the ICU within 48 hours. This is an exploratory, hypothesis-generating inve...
