Key result
Mechanical ventilation increases central venous pressure to 12 - 16 cmH2O from a normal range of 8 - 12 cmH2O.
A majority of patients who are kept under mechanical ventilation may also require central venous (CV) line insertion for different reasons such as inability to access peripheral vein, blood transfusion, or administration of vasoactive agent.(1) Central venous pressure (CVP) is a good indicator of circulatory volume and cardiac function. The normal range of CVP is 8 - 12 cmH2O. It increases to 12 - 16 cmH2O in patients under mechanical ventilation.(1,2)

Singh et al. (2022) studied Mechanical ventilation. Positive end expiratory pressure was evaluated on Central venous pressure. Mechanical ventilation increases central venous pressure to 12 - 16 cmH2O from a normal range of 8 - 12 cmH2O.
