Brief Summary   Traditionally, low central venous haemoglobin saturation has been shown to be associated with poor outcome. Guidelines to normalise the central venous oxygen saturation have been published have been published. Some studies in post-operative cardiac surgical patients and patients with sepsis have shown that high central venous oxygen saturation has been associated with poor outcome. We wanted to see the effect of abnormal (both low and abnormally high values) on the morbidity and mortality of patients who are admitted to the Surgical Intensive Care unit with a diagnosis of sepsis and polytrauma. Patients received necessary resuscitation as deemed on admission to the ICU. Parameters were monitored at admission and 6 hours after admission, when the initial resuscitation would have concluded.
