Key areas where used

  • Critical care
  • Theatre

Method of use

The 3-way stopcock is opened so that fluid from an IV fluid bag fills the manometer. The tap is turned to connect the manometer to the patient. Fluid in the manometer will fall to the level of the central venous pressure (CVP) and an average reading is taken (as level pulsates up and down during the reading). This system may be used for extended periods and the reading taken intermittently (for example, every hour).

Please note: usage of these devices are in decline due to the increased use of electronic transducers to monitor CVP.
