Especially in the case of cardiogenic pulmonary edema, urgent echocardiography may strengthen the diagnosis by demonstrating impaired left ventricular function, high central venous pressures and high pulmonary artery pressures.

A 1996 systematic review concluded that a high jugular venous pressure makes a high central venous pressure more likely, but does not significantly help confirm a low central venous pressure.

PICCs can also be used to measure central venous pressure, which is a rough estimate of the right atrial pressures of the heart and can give valuable information about fluid status.

Normal Central Venous Pressure ( though it can't be said to control venous return ) is only about 2-6 mmHg .-Nunh-huh 07 : 23, 1 October 2005 ( UTC)

Additionally, the actions of both BNP and ANP result in a decrease in cardiac output due to an overall decrease in central venous pressure and preload as a result of the reduction in blood volume that follows natriuresis and diuresis.
17.
An important use of the jugular venous pressure is to assess the central venous pressure in the absence of invasive measurements ( e . g . with a central venous catheter, which is a tube inserted in the neck veins ).
18.
This situation requires ICU admission, monitoring of the central venous pressure ( which requires the insertion of a central venous catheter in a large upper body vein ), and the administration of medication that increases the heart pumping action and blood pressure.
19.
Catheter placement in one of the big veins ( Subclavian vein, Internal jugular vein or femoral vein ) is routinely done to monitor central venous pressure ( CVP ), to administer long term intravenous medication and parenteral nutrition in critically sick patients.
20.
Within six hours, if blood pressure remains low despite initial fluid resuscitation of 30 ml / kg, or if initial lactate is e " 4 mmol / L ( 36 mg / dL ), central venous pressure and central venous oxygen saturation should be measured.
