96. 1. Maintain zero point of manometer always at level of right atrium (intersection between midaxillary line and 4 th ICS, also referred to as the phlebostatic axis) 2. Determine patency of catheter by opening IV infusion line
97. 3. Turn stopcock to allow IV solution to run into manometer to a level of 10-20cm above expected pressure reading 4. Turn stopcock to allow IV solution to flow from manometer into catheter; fluid level in manometer fluctuates with respiration
98. 5. Stop ventilatory assistance during measurement of CVP 6. After CVP reading, return stopcock to IV infusion position 7. Record CVP reading and position of client (angle of recline)
