NEW APPARATUS: THE NICHOLSON VENOUS PRESSURE STAND

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...

central venous pressure monitoring; introduction of a new device

hemodynamic monitoring is needed in up to 58% of patients presented to the emergency department. central venous pressure (cvp) monitoring is generally useful to assess general volume status. there are several methods of cvp measurement, which can be categorized as invasive and non-invasive. cvp manometer and electronic transducer are among the invasive methods and direct observation, ultrasonog...

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...

Central Venous Pressure Monitoring; Introduction of a New Device

Hemodynamic monitoring is needed in up to 58% of patients presented to the emergency department (1). Although central venous pressure (CVP) monitoring is generally useful to assess general volume status, its reliability as a guide to resuscitation in critically ill patients is a subject of debate (2, 3). Generally, there are several methods of CVP measurement, which can be categorized as invasi...
