Factors affecting jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjvO2)

Low SjvO2 High SjvO2
Reduction in oxygen delivery Reduced cerebral oxygen consumption
 Raised ICP  Coma
 Reduced CBF  Hypothermia
 Hypoxia  Cerebral infarction
 Profound hypocarbia
Increased cerebral oxygen demand Increased oxygen delivery
 Seizures  Hypercapnia
 Pyrexia  Vasodilation
