Key result

Central venous pressure measurement remains a valuable and safe parameter in hemodynamic monitoring when interpreted continuously alongside clinical signs and other parameters.

Key Points

Evaluate the clinical utility and physiological basis of central venous pressure monitoring in response to guidelines discouraging its use for guiding intravascular volume therapy.
Critically analyzed the German S3 clinical guidelines on intravascular volume therapy in adults regarding central venous pressure recommendations.
Synthesized classical cardiovascular physiology concepts, including Starling's cardiac function curves and Guyton's venous return model.
Reviewed multicenter randomized trial evidence from early goal-directed therapy studies in sepsis, including ARISE, ProMISe, and ProCESS.
Isolated central venous pressure measurements fail to reliably diagnose volume status because right atrial pressure depends on cardiac performance, venous compliance, and venous return.
Continuous central venous pressure monitoring functions as an essential safety limit to prevent organ-damaging venous congestion and detect acute blood loss during surgery.
Central venous pressure monitoring remains an accessible, cost-effective hemodynamic tool that should be retained and interpreted alongside cardiac output, clinical signs, and laboratory markers.
