THE ROLE OF VENOUS OXIMETRY IN PERIOPERATIVE CARE AND ITS RELATION WITH POSTOPERATIVE OUTCOME

Andrius Macas Abstract Summary Tissue hypoxia emerges as a result of inadequate tissue oxygenation due to disbalance between oxygen delivery and oxygen consumption, and is one of the key factors in development of organ dysfunction. Hemodynamic parameters, conventionally used to assess tissue and organ perfusion, may show normal values in early tissue hypoxia and cannot…
