Comparison of Conventional Central Venous Pressure with Peripheral Venous Pressure and External Jugular Venous Pressure in Patients with Sepsis

Determination of Central Venous Pressure from Intraocular Pressure

Background: In many clinical situations, knowledge of central venous pressure (CVP) is important.  Measurement of CVP is not always possible. Objective: To determine if intraocular pressure (IOP) can be used as an estimate for CVP. Methods: IOP and CVP were measured concurrently in 30 candidates of coronary artery bypass graft surgery.  Those with carotid artery or jugular venous diseases as we...

peripheral venous pressure as a predictor of central venous pressure in continuous monitoring in children

Defining normal jugular venous pressure with ultrasonography.

OBJECTIVE Determination of jugular venous pressure (JVP) by physical examination (E-JVP) is unreliable. Measurement of JVP with ultrasonography (U-JVP) is easy to perform, but the normal range is unknown. The objective of this study was to determine the normal range for U-JVP. METHODS We conducted a prospective anatomic study on a convenience sample of emergency department (ED) patients over ...

Influence of tissue pressure on central venous pressure/peripheral venous pressure correlation: An experimental report.

BACKGROUND Peripheral venous pressure (PVP) has been shown to correlate with central venous pressure (CVP) in a number of reports. Few studies, however, have explored the relationship between tissue pressure (TP) and PVP/CVP correlation. METHODS PVP and CVP were simultaneously recorded in a bench-top model of the venous circulation of the upper limb and in a single human volunteer after under...

The jugular venous pressure revisited.

Assessment of the jugular venous pressure is often inadequately performed and undervalued. Here, we review the physiologic and anatomic basis for the jugular venous pressure, including the discrepancy between right atrial and central venous pressures. We also describe the correct method of evaluating this clinical finding and review the clinical relevance of the jugular venous pressure, especia...
