Venous Oxygen Saturation/Venous Oxygen Tension Basic Information Definition Venous oxygen saturation and venous oxygen tension are used as a reflection of tissue oxygenation to identify occult tissue oxygen debt. Mixed venous oxygen saturation and mixed venous oxygen tension, measured by a pulmonary artery catheter, are more accurate reflections of the venous oxygen content. Due to size restrictions, jugular venous blood is used to estimate mixed venous oxygen content in adult horses. Central venous samples are used in foals to estimate mixed venous oxygen content. Typical Normal Range (US Units; SI Units) • Adult horses: Normal jugular venous oxygen 45.6 ± 4.7 mm Hg Normal jugular oxygen saturation 65% to 75% • Foals (0–14 days of age): Central venous oxygen content 40.5 ± 0.4 mm Hg (recumbent) 35.9 ± 0.4 mm Hg (upright) Central venous oxygen saturation< div class='tao-gold-member'> Only gold members can continue reading.
