Brief summary
Hypothesis - central venous pressure measurement by compression sonography correlates with central venous pressure measurement by invasive methods
Interventions
Non invasive central venous pressure measurement by compression sonography (veins are compressed with an ultrasound probe until the opposite sides touch). Measurements will be repeated until a consistent result is obtained (no resting period). The procedure is estimated to take 10 minutes. There is no specific time for when this measurements will be taken (it will be based upon mutual convenience).
