Analysis of factors related to jugular venous oxygen saturation during cardiopulmonary bypass.
To investigate preoperative clinical conditions and/or intraoperative physiologic variables related to jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjO2) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). ⋯ During rewarming, when cerebral perfusion and oxygen demand change abruptly, but not during stable hypothermic CPB, CPP was a significant factor related to sjO2.
