The objective of this paper is to establish a reference range of central venous pressure (CVP) values during the first 4 days of life in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. A prospective observational study with continuous monitoring of CVP in VLBW newborns who had an umbilical venous catheter (UVC) positioned in or near the right atrium is conducted. All UVCs were inserted as part of normal care of the infants. The mean CVP (mCVP) was monitored for 72 h from recruitment, or until the UVC was removed. The mean mCVP was calculated for each infant. The median of the mean mCVPs was then calculated. Data were analysed in 17 infants. The median gestational age was 27 weeks and median birth weight was 940 g. Sixteen were mechanically ventilated and of these, six also received continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) during the study period. One infant received no respiratory support. One infant died during the study period. The lowest mean mCVP was 2.8 mmHg and the highest was 13.9 mmHg. The median mean mCVP was 4.9 mmHg (interquartile range 4.4-6.1). The normal range of CVP in VLBW infants during the first 4 days of life is wider than previously suggested. |
