Combining Continuous Central Venous Oxygen Saturation and Cardiac Output Monitoring in the Critically Ill - Why does it make sense?

Please answer the questions below by marking the appropriate choice..
    
 
A
B
C
D
1. The four factors that affect venous oxygen saturation are:
    1. Lactate, hemoglobin, cardiac output, tissue PO2
    2. Lactate, hemoglobin, cardiac output, arterial SaO2
    3. Oxygen consumption, hemoglobin, cardiac output, tissue PO2
    4. Oxygen consumption, hemoglobin, cardiac output, arterial SaO2


   
A
B
    
2. Your patient has undergone a coronary artery by-pass procedure and is being transported to the intensive care unit. Patient temperature 36.5 C, Blood pressure 108/64, CVP 4.  Hemoglobin 10 g/dl. Sinus rhythm at rate of 82.  The monitor shows a ScvO2 value of 77% and a CCO value of 4.5  L/m.  Your assessment of these values are:
    1. Cardiac output is sufficient to meet tissue needs
    2. Cardiac output is insufficient to meet tissue needs.
