Brief summary
Comparison of a non-invasive method of measuring central venous pressure to the conventional modality of invasive central venous pressure.
Detailed description
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.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Non-invasive pressure indicator | 12-72 hours | 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) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Direction of change | 12-72 hours | Correlate the directionality of ezCVP change to invasive CVP change over time (i.e., increasing, decreasing or remaining stable). |
| Correlation with invasive CVP | 12-72 hours | Quantify the agreement between ezCVP (non-invasive) and CVP (invasive) |
