Cvp central venous pressure

BACKGROUND: The relationship between venous congestion in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and acute kidney injury (AKI) in cardiac surgery has not utterly substantiated. This study aimed at investigate the relationship between CVP in CPB and the occurrence of AKI. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 2048 consecutive patients with cardiovascular disease undergoing cardiac procedure with CPB from January 2018 to December 2022. We used the median CVP value obtained during CPB for our analysis and patients were grouped according to this parameter...

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the impact of the vertical level of the stopcock connecting the infusion line to the central venous catheter on start-up fluid delivery in microinfusions. Start-up fluid delivery was measured under standardized conditions with the syringe outlet and liquid flow sensors positioned at heart level (0 cm) and exposed to a simulated CVP of 10 mmHg at a set flow rate of 1 ml/h. Flow and intraluminal pressures were measured with the infusion line connected to the stopcock primarily placed at vertical levels of 0 cm, + 30 cm and - 30 cm or primarily placed at 0 cm and secondarily, after connecting the infusion line, displaced to + 30 cm and - 30 cm...

Background : Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction or failure occurs in more than 30% of patients in cardiogenic shock (CS). However, the importance of timely diagnosis of prognostically relevant impairment of RV function is often underestimated. Moreover, data regarding the impact of mechanical circulatory support like the Impella on RV function are rare. Here, we investigated the effects of the left ventricular (LV) Impella on RV function. Moreover, we aimed to identify the most optimal and the earliest applicable parameter for bedside monitoring of RV function by comparing the predictive abilities of three common RV function parameters: the pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi), the ratio of right atrial pressure to pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (RA/PCWP), and the right ventricular stroke work index (RVSWI)...

BACKGROUND: Utilization of right ventricular mechanical circulatory support (RV-MCS) devices has been limited by a lack of recognition of RV failure as well as a lack of availability and experience with RV-MCS. AIMS: We report a single-center experience with the use of percutaneous RV-MCS and report predictors of adverse outcomes. METHODS: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study. Data from consecutive patients who received RV-MCS for any indication between June 2015 and January 2022 were included...

BACKGROUND: Elevated central venous pressure (CVP) is deemed as a sign of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. We aimed to characterize the echocardiographic features of RV in septic patients with elevated CVP, and quantify associations between RV function parameters and 30-day mortality. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed a cohort of septic patients with CVP ≥ 8 mmHg in a tertiary hospital intensive care unit. General characteristics and echocardiographic parameters including tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) as well as prognostic data were collected...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common after pediatric heart transplantation (HT) and is associated with inferior patient outcomes. Hemodynamic risk factors for pediatric heart transplant recipients who experience AKI are not well described. We performed a retrospective review of 99 pediatric heart transplant patients at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2019, in which clinical and demographic characteristics, intraoperative perfusion data, and hemodynamic measurements in the first 48 postoperative hours were analyzed as risk factors for severe AKI (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes [KDIGO] stage ≥ 2)...

OBJECTIVES: Examine the: 1) relative role of hemodynamic determinants of acute kidney injury (AKI) obtained in the immediate postcardiac surgery setting compared with established risk factors, 2) their predictive value, and 3) extent mediation via central venous pressure (CVP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP). DESIGN: Retrospective observational study. The main outcome of the study was moderate to severe AKI, per kidney disease: improving global outcomes, within 14 days of surgery...

PURPOSE: Volume measurement in critically ill children can be conducted using invasive procedure such as Central Venous Pressure (CVP), or non-invasive procedure such as measurement of Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) indices using ultrasonography. However, their accuracy and efficacy are still under scrutiny. We aim to compare CVP and IVC indices as non-invasive parameters in assessing volume status in critically ill children. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review based on literature searching from four electronic databases which were PubMed, Cochrane, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink with keywords: "CENTRAL VENOUS PRESSURE", "INFERIOR VENA CAVA DIAMETER", "INFERIOR VENA CAVA COLLAPSIBILITY", "INFERIOR VENA CAVA AORTIC-RATIO", "VOLUME STATUS", "FLUID STATUS", "CRITICAL ILL", "CHILDREN", and "PEDIATRICS"...

In the absence of vascular obstruction, central venous pressure (CVP) is a hydrostatic pressure in the cranial and caudal vena cava, providing valuable information about cardiac function and intravascular volume status. It is also a component in evaluating volume resuscitation in patients with septic shock and monitoring patients with right heart disease, pericardial disease, or volume depletion. Central venous pressure is calculated in dogs by invasive central venous catheterization, which is considered high-risk and impractical in critically ill patients...

BACKGROUND: The individual components of mechanical ventilation may have distinct effects on kidney perfusion and on the risk of developing acute kidney injury; we aimed to explore ventilatory predictors of acute kidney failure and the hemodynamic changes consequent to experimental high-power mechanical ventilation. METHODS: Secondary analysis of two animal studies focused on the outcomes of different mechanical power settings, including 78 pigs mechanically ventilated with high mechanical power for 48 h...

Transpulmonary pressure (PL ) calculation requires esophageal pressure (PES ) as a surrogate of pleural pressure (Ppl), but its calibration is a cumbersome technique. Central venous pressure (CVP) swings may reflect tidal variations in Ppl and could be used instead of PES , but the interpretation of CVP waveforms could be difficult due to superposition of heartbeat-induced pressure changes. Thus, we developed a digital filter able to remove the cardiac noise to obtain a filtered CVP (f-CVP). The aim of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of CVP and filtered CVP swings (ΔCVP and Δf-CVP, respectively) in estimating esophageal respiratory swings (ΔPES ) and compare PL calculated with CVP, f-CVP and PES; then we tested the diagnostic accuracy of the f-CVP method to identify unsafe high PL levels, defined as PL >10 cmH2 O...

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of early postoperative constrictive pericarditis (EPCP) have not been discussed in depth. The objective of this study was to devise and propose a management strategy for EPCP. METHODS: In this study, constrictive pericarditis (CP) within 6 months after cardiac surgery was defined as EPCP, and patients were divided into two groups based on intraoperative findings: a parietal thickening group and a visceral thickening group...

OBJECTIVE: Our group has shown that central venous pressure (CVP) can optimise atrioventricular (AV) delay in temporary pacing (TP) after cardiac surgery. However, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is influenced both by the methods used to mitigate the pressure effects of respiration and the number of heartbeats analysed. This paper systematically studies the effect of different analysis methods on SNR to maximise the accuracy of this technique. METHODS: We optimised AV delay in 16 patients with TP after cardiac surgery...

BACKGROUND: In the intensive care unit (ICU) patients, fluid overload and congestion are associated with worse outcomes. Because of the heterogeneity of ICU patients, we hypothesized that there may exist different endotypes of congestion. The aim of this study was to identify endotypes of congestion and their association with outcomes. METHODS: We conducted an unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis on 145 patients admitted to ICU to identify endotypes. We measured several parameters related to clinical context, volume status, filling pressure, and venous congestion...

BACKGROUND: Elevated central venous pressure (CVP) and decreased arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2 ) are the characteristics of patients after Fontan operations and determine morbidity and mortality in the long-term. Oxygen inhalation therapy theoretically increases SaO2 and may decrease the elevated CVP in these patients. However, there is no previous study to support this hypothesis. This study aimed to determine the acute effects of oxygen inhalation on the hemodynamics of adult patients late after Fontan operations using cardiac catheterization...

BACKGROUND: Right atrial pressure plays a critical role as a hemodynamic parameter in diagnosing pulmonary hypertension and other cardiac diseases, as well as guiding the treatment and prognosis of various cardiac disorders. If there is no obstruction between the inferior or superior vena cava (SVC) as central veins and the right atrium, the pressures in these veins could be considered equal to the right atrial pressure. This study aimed to examine the correlation between echocardiographic methods for estimating right atrial pressure and invasive measurements of central venous pressure (CVPi ) in infants and children with congenital heart disease during the 48 h after cardiac surgery and to establish regression equations for echocardiographic estimation of central venous pressure (CVPe )...

In patients supported by the HeartMate 3 left ventricular assist device (HM3 LVAD), pump speed adjustments may improve hemodynamics. We investigated the hemodynamic implications of speed adjustments in HM3 recipients undergoing hemodynamic ramp tests. Clinically stable HM3 recipients who underwent routine invasive hemodynamic ramp tests between 2015 and 2022 at our center were included. Filling pressure optimization, defined as central venous pressure (CVP) <12 mm Hg and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) <18 mm Hg, was assessed at baseline and final pump speeds...

To compare the outcomes of low central venous pressure (CVP) to standard CVP during laparoscopic liver resection. The study design was a systematic review following the PRISMA statement standards. The available literature was searched to identify all studies comparing low CVP with standard CVP in patients undergoing laparoscopic liver resection. The outcomes included intraoperative blood loss (primary outcome), need for blood transfusion, mean arterial pressure, operative time, Pringle time, and total complications...

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical value of central venous pressure (CVP) + inferior vena cava respiratory variability (VIVC) in fluid resuscitation in spontaneously breathing patients with septic shock. METHODS: In retrospective observational study, during October 2019 to December 2021, 145 patients with septic shock treated in our hospital were enrolled by the method of observational study. According to the change rate of cardiac output (ΔCO) ≥15% or ΔCO<15% after 30 minutes, they were assigned into volume-responsive and volume-unresponsive group depending early fluid resuscitation in sepsis...

OBJECTIVE: The presence of cannon A waves, the so called "frog sign", has traditionally been considered diagnostic of atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT). Nevertheless, it has never been systematically evaluated. The aim of this study is to assess the independent diagnostic utility of cannon A waves in the differential diagnosis of supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs). METHODS: We prospectively included 100 patients who underwent an electrophysiology (EP) study for SVT...
