Abstract

Jugular bulb venous oxygen saturation (SjvO2) is the percentage of oxygen bound to haemoglobin in the blood returning from the brain. This reflects the residue of oxygen in blood having passed the brain tissue. SjvO2 can give information about global hypoperfusion or hypoxemia, but there are many concerns when looking at focal brain pathologies.
