Study Notes

Central Venous Catheter (CVC)

A catheter placed into a large vein for administering medication, fluids, or obtaining blood tests.
Can be placed in veins in the neck (internal jugular vein), chest (subclavian or axillary vein), groin (femoral vein), or arms (PICC line).

CVC Uses

Administering medication or fluids unable to be taken orally or would harm smaller peripheral veins.
Obtaining blood tests, specifically central venous oxygen saturation.
Measuring central venous pressure (CVP).

Central Venous Pressure (CVP)

Pressure measurement of circulating blood flow within the right atrium via great veins in the thorax.
Serves as a guide for assessing right and left side cardiac functions in absence of cardiorespiratory diseases.

Indications for Measuring CVP

Long-term intravenous antibiotics.
Long-term parenteral nutrition, especially in chronically ill persons.
Long-term pain medications.
