From: Skeletal muscle oxygen saturation does not estimate mixed venous oxygen saturation in patients with severe left heart failure and additional severe sepsis or septic shock

Figure 1

Correlation between skeletal muscle StO2 and SvO2. Group A includes patients with severe left heart failure without severe sepsis/septic shock, and group B includes patients with primary heart disease and additional severe sepsis/septic shock. A statistically significant correlation was found in group A (r = 0.689, P = 0.002) but not in group B (r = -0.091, P = 0.60). StO2, tissue oxygenation; SvO2, mixed venous oxygen saturation.
