Question

A critically ill patient is shivering following a bed bath and mobilization to a chair. The nurse proceeds to covering the patient with a blanket and drawing a central venous blood gas to follow up on the lactate. Which is the most likely cause, in this case, of a decrease in central venous saturation (ScvO2) in the patient's new blood gas result? Question 12 options: Oxygen saturation (SaO2) is too low Cardiac output (CO) is inadequate to meet tissue O2 needs Hemoglobin (Hgb) is too low O2 consumption has increased without an increase in delivery
