    aquaphone replied to aquaphone's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    aquaphone replied to aquaphone's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    aquaphone posted a topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    We all know the gold standard for confirmation of a CVP catheter is a chest x-ray. However, if that is not immediately available, has anyone heard of: Confirmation via ECG? or Confirmation via doppler...

  14. CVP catheter confirmation question

    aquaphone replied to aquaphone's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    aquaphone replied to aquaphone's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Yeah, I think you're right... the 10mL of air sounds like it could be extremely detrimental to the patient's health, to put it mildly. And I like your analysis of the ECG method. I've seen CVP...

  18. CVP catheter confirmation question
