Abstract: | To determine the reference level of central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2)
and clinical efficacy of central venous blood gas analysis, partial pressures of oxygen
and carbon dioxide, pH, oxygen saturation, base excess (B.E.) and HCO3
concentration were compared between simultaneously obtained central venous and arterial
blood samples from conscious healthy 6 dogs and 5 cats. Comparisons between arteriovenous
samples were performed by a paired t-test and Bland-Altman analysis.
Between arteriovenous samples, B.E. showed good agreement, but there were significant
differences in other parameters in the dogs, and no good agreement was detected in cats.
The ScvO2 in dogs and cats were 82.3 ± 3.5 and 62.4 ± 13.5%, respectively.
Central venous blood gas analysis is indispensable, especially in cats. |
