The CVP in patient with hypovolemic shock
case :
Mostafa 22years old
Agitated and compleaning of abdominal pain
Airway is patent
Respiratory rate 32 per min.
BP 90/60 mmHg.
Pulse 130 bpm.
Temp 36C.
Abdominal distension.
Cold skin
Nsogastric tube rvealed green liqued
Urinary cathetar revealed dark urine
Hemoglobin is 7.
FAST is postive.
2. Objectives:
What would be the central venous and/or
pulmonary capillary occlusion pressure
(Low, normal, high )?
3. Hemorrhagic shock
is a condition of reduced tissue perfusion,
resulting in the inadequate delivery of oxygen
and nutrients that are necessary for cellular
function.
4. Central venous
pressure
Venous pressure:
is a term that represents the average
blood pressure within the venous
compartment.
Central venous pressure:
considered a direct measurement of the
blood pressure in the right atrium and
vena cava.
5. Equation:
ΔCVP = ΔV / Cv
Normal
value : CVP is 2-6 mm Hg.
change in volume (ΔV)
The compliance (Cv)
6. Factors influencing the Central Venous Pressure:
Cardiac output.
Blood volume.
Venous constriction.
Changing from standing
to supine body posture.
Arterial dilation.
7. CVP is elevated by :
Heart failure or PA stenosis which limit venous
outflow and lead to venous congestion.
CVP decreases with:
Hypovolemic shock from hemorrhage, fluid shift,
dehydration.
8. Pulmonary capillary occlusion pressure:
intravascular pressure as measured by a catheter
wedged into the small pulmonary artery ; used to
measure indirectly the mean left atrial pressure.
Normally about 8-10 mmHg.
9. In our case :
What would be the central venous and/or pulmonary capillary occlusion
pressure (Low, normal, high )?
Early stage of shock .
Compensate stage
10. The central venous pressure
and pulmonary capillary
occlusion pressure ……
Due to the
compensatory
mechanism
12. Compensatory stage:
1/ increasing stroke volume.
2/ increasing the heart rate.
3/raising blood pressure.
4/increasing the rate of return of venous
blood to the heart.
Vasoconstriction blood
vessels + increase blood
volume …..>increase
arterial pressure.
CVP Normal
13. •Hemorrhage decreases blood
volume and decreases CVP (A→B)
•By compensatory mechanism
(B→C),
which increases CVP and
shifts blood volume toward
heart…..> increase pulmonary
capillary occlusion pressure
In Short:
14. The CVP & PCWP in hypovolemic shock differs
depend on the stage of the shock.
Initial stage decrease
Compensatory stage normal
Uncompensatory stage decrease

Editor's Notes
A change in CVP (ΔCVP) is determined by the change in volume (ΔV) of blood within the thoracic veins divided by thecompliance (Cv) of the these veins according to the following equation:
Vascular Compliance
The ability of a blood vessel wall to expand and contract passively with changes in pressure is an important function of large arteries and veins. This ability of a vessel to distend and increase volume with increasing transmural pressure(inside minus outside pressure) is quantified as vessel compliance (C), which is the change in volume (ΔV) divided by the change in pressure (ΔP).
The volume-pressure relationship (i.e., compliance) for an artery and vein are depicted in Figure 1. Two important characteristics stand out. First, the slope is not linear because the blood vessel wall is a heterogeneous tissue. Therefore, compliance decreases at higher pressures and volumes (i.e., vessels become "stiffer" at higher pressures and volumes). Second, at lower pressures, the compliance of a vein is about 10 to 20-times greater than an artery. Therefore, veins can accommodate a large changes in blood volume with only a small change in pressure. However, at higher pressures and volumes, venous compliance (slope of compliance curve) becomes similar to arterial compliance. This makes veins suitable for use as arterial by-pass grafts.
(PCWP) intravascular pressure as measured by a catheter wedged into the distal pulmonary artery ; used to measure indirectly the mean left atrial pressure.
The pulmonary capillary wedge pressure or PCWP (also called the pulmonary wedge pressure or PWP, or pulmonary artery occlusion pressure or PAOP) or cross-sectional pressure, is the pressure measured by wedging a pulmonary catheter with an inflated balloon into a small pulmonary arterial branch.[1]
Reduce the central venous pressure “right atrial pressure
Reduce pulmonary arteries blood flow --> Reduce the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure “left atrial pressure" --> reduce pre-load --> reduce cardiac output
