Abstract

Objective: To determine correlation between the values of Peripheral Venous Pressure and Central Venous Pressure in post-operative surgical patients.

Study Design: Clinical Trial (ClinicalTrials.gov vide identifier no. NCT05476666).

Place and Duration of Study: Surgical Intensive Care Unit of Pakistan Naval Services Shifa Hospital, Karachi Pakistan, from Jan to Jun 2022.

Methodology: Human clinical trials were undertaken on 40 patients between the ages of 18 and 65 years who were shifted to Surgical Intensive Care Unit for post-operative care and had consented to participate in this clinical trial, in addition to fulfilling preset inclusion and exclusion criteria. Central Venous Pressure (CVP) and Peripheral Venous Pressure (PVP) was measured simultaneously through a water manometer. Mean readings were compared.

Results: The mean difference between PVP and CVP readings in our study was 3.65±2.21 cmH2O with p<0.001 which was statistically significant. The mean age of the patients was 42.1±12.1 years and included 31(77.5%) males and 09(22.5%) females.

Conclusion: Our study showed that there is significant correlation between PVP and CVP in post-operative surgical patients suggesting that PVP monitoring can be used as an easy, economical and less complicated alternative to CVP monitoring.
