CVP Care (Swapnil (
The safety of the patients concerning this device depends mostly on the
nursing care.
CENRAL VENOUS PRESSURE:
Central venous pressure (CVP) is the blood pressure in the venaecava,
vein and advances it until its tip lies in or near the right atrium. When
connected to a monometer or Monitor. the catheter measures central
venous pressure (CVP), an index of right ventricular function. The
normal CVP is 8 to 12 mm Hg. And 2 to 6cm H2O.
PURPOSE
There special Ivs are used when the patient either does not have adequate
veins in the arms or needs special medication and/or nutrition that cannot
be given through the smaller arm veins.
Serve as a guide of fluid balance in critically ill patient.
Determine the function of the right side of the heart

7. Administration sets (PMO LINE, IV SET’S etc.) labeled and
replace
8. Necessity of removal to be assessed in every shift.

COMPLICATIONS
1. Bleeding and infections associated with IV catheter.
2. Misplacement
3. Collapse of the lung is a rare complication of cvp catheter.
4. Arterial puncture, cardiac puncture.
5. Pneumothorax, Hemothorax
6. Air emboli, thrombosis
7. Cardiac tamponade
8. Cardiac arrhythmias
9. Carotid artery punctured
10. Perforation in SVC and atria and ventricles
11. Pleural effusion.
ROUTINE CARE
The catheter is held in place by an adhesive dressing, suture, or staple
which is covered by an occlusive dressing. Regular flushing with saline
or a heparin-containing solution keeps the line open and prevents blood
clots.
