Abstract
A majority of patients who are kept under mechanical ventilation may
also require central venous (CV) line insertion for different reasons
such as inability to access peripheral vein, blood transfusion, or
administration of vasoactive agent.(1) Central venous pressure (CVP)
is a good indicator of circulatory volume and cardiac function. The
normal range of CVP is 8 - 12 cmH2O. It increases to 12 - 16 cmH2O in
patients under mechanical ventilation.(1,2)
