Summary: average Svo2 and average cardiac output were computed for the total sample (see the Figure). The correlation between Svo2 and cardiac output for the entire sample was r = 0.54 (P .001). xxx Because vasoactive medications (inotropic agents and vasodilators) can affect the relationship between Svo2 and cardiac output, the sample was divided into 2 groups: patients receiving
