Catheter Types, Sites and Techniques
CVP (aka Right atrial pressure)
provides info on pt's cardiac preload aka venous return
and intravascular volume
PICCS
end at SVC but placed through basilica or cephalic veins of arms
Power port PICCs (without valves) have normal CVPs to CVCs. Otherwise PICC CVP are 1 (3/-3) mmHG higher than CVC.

Waveform Analysis
Measure Mean CVP
A WAVES: Highest point-lowest point/2
V WAVES: (pt has a flutter or AF) highest point-lowest point/2
