Correlation of central venous pressure with Doppler waveform of the common femoral veins.

The objects of this prospective study were to determine the nature of the flow in the right femoral vein and to correlate the flow velocity with the venous pressure measured in the right atrium. We performed 236 pulsed Doppler ultrasonographic examinations in 1 year on patients with a venous catheter with the distal tip in the right atrium. In the Doppler wave readouts we analyzed wave frequency, velocity components, and relationships among them and the existence of pulsatile flow. These parameters were then compared to the right atrium pressure. We investigated the correlation between the atrium pressure and the flow velocity obtained from the Doppler waveforms of the common femoral veins, obtaining a significant correlation (P<0.0001) with the following: the atrium systolic wave a, the atrium diastolic wave v, the pulsatility ratio (PR = Vmin/Vmax) and the pulsatility index (PI = [Vmax ‐ Vmin] /Vavg). The receiver operating characteristic showed that the pulsed Doppler ultrasonography is not a sensitive technique in diagnosis high atrium pressures. In addition, both cardiac and respiratory phasicity of the venous wave was observed. A significant inverse relation was found between the pulsatile flow and high atrium pressure. Nonetheless, the low sensitivity of this technique does not allow the use of pulsatile Doppler ultrasonography in the common femoral vein for diagnosing increases of the atrium pressure.
