Central Venous Pressure (CVP) Assessment by Ultrasound and Physical Examination

Completed

Conditions studied: Central Venous Pressure

In brief

Ultrasound may be useful for noninvasively determining the central venous pressure. We intend to compare the clinical examination of the neck veins; ultrasound delineation of the internal jugular vein; and the central venous pressure measured with an intravascular catheter.
