    homework

    I already graduated. So if you would like help, tell us what you know so far, what has your research shown? What is normal ICP? What professional staff is available for consult and/or assistance? What do you expect the patient to be like (LOC, VS, etc)?

    What is a CVP?

    Central venous pressure is considered a direct measurement of the blood pressure in the right atrium and vena cava. The CVP catheter is an important tool used to assess right ventricular function and systemic fluid status.

    • Normal CVP is 2-6 mm Hg.

    I found this answer

    CVP 1 mmHg means hypovolemic (hemorrhage, dehydration and vomiting.) First thing to do is infuse rapidly a fluid bolus. The recommendation is fluid replacement and remeasure the CVP till become in normal range.

    But I am not sure

    That is it.

    The CVP catheter is an important tool used to assess right ventricular function and systemic fluid status.

    • Normal CVP is 2-6 mm Hg.
    • CVP is elevated by :
      • overhydration which increases venous return
      • heart failure or PA stenosis which limit venous outflow and lead to venous congestion
      • positive pressure breathing, straining,

      [*]CVP decreases with:

      • hypovolemic shock from hemorrhage, fluid shift, dehydration

    Central venous pressure (CVP) (also known as: right atrial pressure; RAP) describes the pressure of blood in the thoracic vena cava, near the right atrium of the heart. CVP reflects the amount of blood returning to the heart and the ability of the heart to pump the blood into the arterial system.
