Comparison of a non-invasive method of measuring central venous pressure to the conventional modality of invasive central venous pressure.
The conventional method used to measure central venous pressure has limitations since it is an invasive procedure that requires a central venous catheter. To overcome this challenge, a new technology to assess CVP non-invasively using an oscillometric method is being developed. It is called enclosed zone central venous pressure (ezCVP). A comparison study of ezCVP and CVP is needed to determine accuracy and reproducibility.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
8
Non-invasive method to measure central venous pressure indicator
El Camino Hospital
Mountain View, California, United States
Non-invasive pressure indicator
Evaluate sensitivity and specificity of ezCVP indication based on the case where CVP is in a 'low range' (0 \< CVP \< 10 mmHg) or 'high range' (\>= 10 mmHg)
Time frame: 12-72 hours
Direction of change
Correlate the directionality of ezCVP change to invasive CVP change over time (i.e., increasing, decreasing or remaining stable).
Time frame: 12-72 hours
Correlation with invasive CVP
Quantify the agreement between ezCVP (non-invasive) and CVP (invasive)
Time frame: 12-72 hours
