Determinação da pressão venosa cefálica e jugular e em cães saudáveis

Abstract

Central venous pressure (CVP) is an important parameter for monitoring in various clinical and experimental situations. In veterinary patients, depending on the clinical or surgical approach, the temperament of the animal and your clinical status, the measurement of PVC cannot be performed properly. Thus, the measurement of the jugular venous pressure (JVP) and/or cephalic (CfVP) may be an method for estimating the systemic venous pressure in animals. Thus, this study aimed to determine and to correlate the measures of the JVP and PVCf obtained of healthy dogs. For this 10 healthy dogs were used. All animals were subjected to physical, hematologic, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic evaluation. Any kind of sedation or anesthesia was used. The results showed JVP average values between 4 and -2 cm of water and CfPV between 2 and 16 cm of water. No correlation between JVP and the CfPV was found.(AU)
