Monitoring center venous pressure to guide the treatment of acute circulatory failure: give up or persist

Central venous pressure (CVP) is one of the most commonly used parameters in hemodynamic monitoring, and monitoring CVP to guide the treatment of acute circulatory failure is a relatively common clinical method.However, many studies have pointed out that CVP is affected by many factors and has great limitations, which cannot provide help for the treatment of acute circulatory failure.This review summarized the analysis of the working principle of CVP, its value in treatment and influencing factors.The main purpose is to get a better understanding of CVP.
