Central venous catheterisation is commonly performed during major surgery and intensive care, and it would be useful if central venous oxygen saturation could function as a surrogate for mixed venous oxygen saturation. We studied 50 patients undergoing living related liver transplantation. Blood samples were taken simultaneously from central venous and pulmonary artery catheters at nine time points during the pre-anhepatic, anhepatic, and postanhepatic phases. Four hundred and fifty sets of measurement were obtained. There was a good correlation between central venous oxygen saturation and mixed venous oxygen saturation. The mean (SD) difference (95% limit of agreement) was lowest at the first time point (1.06 (0.65)%, -1.94% to 2.7%) and then increased throughout the study but remained acceptable. The change in mixed venous oxygen and central venous oxygen saturations occurred mostly in parallel and as a result changes in mixed venous oxygen saturation were reflected adequately in the change in central venous oxygen saturation. The correlation between mixed venous oxygen saturation and cardiac output was poor.
