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...

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...

Arterial and central venous pressure monitoring.

Pressure monitoring systems influence the contour of the displayed wave-forms and, on occasion, can introduce significant artifact in the pressure traces. It is important to understand the technical details of invasive pressure monitoring to interpret better the information presented. Careful observation of the arterial pressure waveform can provide information about ventricular function, the a...

Peripheral Venous Pressure as a Predictor of Central Venous Pressure in Continuous Monitoring in Children

BACKGROUND Measurement of central venous pressure (CVP) is a reliable method for evaluating intravascular volume status and cardiac function; however it is an invasive and expensive method that may result in some complications such as arterial puncture, pneumothorax and development of infections. This study was performedto compare CVP measurements between central and peripheral catheters in inf...
