Abstract
Early postoperative mobilization induces a marked reduction in mixed venous oxygen saturation (S(v)O(2)) after aortic valve replacement. We investigated whether a similar desaturation occurs among coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients, and if the desaturation was related to the preoperative ejection fraction (EF).
