Why the study?
Practicing anesthesiologists continue to rely on CVP measurement despite shifting attitudes and emerging methods, prompting an assessment of CVP's diagnostic accuracy in predicting response to infusion therapy.
Does central venous pressure measurement accurately predict response to infusion therapy in ICU and perioperative patients?
Does central venous pressure measurement accurately predict response to infusion therapy in ICU and perioperative patients?
Central venous pressure measurement has low diagnostic accuracy (AUROC 0.6) for predicting fluid responsiveness in ICU and perioperative patients, challenging its traditional use as a reliable clinical indicator.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
CVP should not guide fluid therapy in ICU; confirms low diagnostic accuracy and supports abandoning routine reliance.
Kuznetsov et al. (2025) studied this question.
