Central Venous Pressure Monitoring; Introduction of a New Device
Journal Title: Archives of Academic Emergency Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Central Venous Pressure Monitoring Hemodynamic monitoring is needed in up to 58% of pa-tients presented to the emergency department (1). Alt-hough central venous pressure (CVP) monitoring is gen-erally useful to assess general volume status, its reliabil-ity as a guide to resuscitation in critically ill patients is a subject of debate (2, 3). Generally, there are several meth-ods of CVP measurement, which can be categorized as invasive and non-invasive. Currently two methods are available for direct and invasive measurement of CVP. In the first method, after fixing a CV line catheter, CVP is measured using a CVP manometer connected to patient’s CV line. In the other method, an electronic transducer, connected to the CV catheter from one side and to the digi-tal monitor from the other, is used to demonstrate meas-ured CVP.
