Correlation of Physical Exam Versus Non-invasive Assessment Versus Invasive Assessment of Central Venous Pressure

Completed

Conditions studied: Central Venous Pressure

In brief

The purpose of this study is to establish the accuracy of a non-invasive device that uses near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to estimate central venous pressure (CVP) comparing it to physical exam and invasive hemodynamic measurement via right heart catheterization (RHC).
