Скачать или смотреть Mastering Central Venous Pressure: A Nursing Student’s Guide

🫀CVP, central venous pressure, is a direct reflection of right atrial pressure, or RAP. CVP indirectly measures right end diastolic ventricular pressure as well. CVP readings give nurses an indication of a patient’s volume status.
.
✅CVP readings may be obtained via pulmonary artery catheters, or via the distal port of a central line. To obtain a CVP reading, the nurse should lay the patient flat, zero the transducer, and measure at end exhalation. Central venous pressure ranges between 2-6 mmHg.
.
✅Causes of elevated CVP: volume overload, right heart failure, right ventricular infarction, tricuspid disease, constructive pericarditis, cardiac tamponade, vasoconstriction, lung disease.
.
✅Causes of low CVP: fluid volume deficit, vasodilation (sepsis).
