- Abstract
Objectives: This study sought to determine whether tissue oxygenation (StO2) could be used as a surrogate for central venous oxygenation (ScVO2) in early goal-directed therapy (EGDT). Methods: The study enrolled a prospective convenience sample of patients aged ≥18 years with sepsis and systolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg after 2 L of normal saline or lactate >4 mmol, who received a continuous central venous oximetry catheter. StO2 and ScVO2 were measured at 15-minute intervals. Data were analyzed using a random coefficients model, correlations, and Bland-Altman plots. Results: There were 284 measurements in 40 patients. While a statistically significant relationship existed between StO2 and ScVO2 ( F(1,37) = 10.23, p = 0.002), StO2 appears to systematically overestimate at lower ScVO2 and underestimate at higher ScVO2. This was reflected in the fixed effect slope of 0.49 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.266 to 0.720) and intercept of 34 (95% CI = 14.681 to 50.830), which were significantly different from 1 and 0, respectively. The initial point correlation (r = 0.5) was fair, but there was poor overall agreement (bias = 4.3, limits of agreement = −20.8 to 29.4). Conclusions: Correlation between StO2 and ScVO2 was fair. The two measures trend in the same direction, but clinical use of StO2 in lieu of ScVO2 is unsubstantiated due to large and systematic biases. However, these biases may reflect real physiologic states. Further research may investigate if these measures could be used in concert as prognostic indicators.
