Abstract
A device used to quickly measure central venous pressure is disclosed. Compared to current systems, the JVPM is easier to use, less expensive, and faster in providing the needed information to determine both the course of treatment and the proper positioning of the inserted catheter. As a physically smaller device that remains within the sterile operative field, the JVPM is also less likely to introduce infecting organisms into the body.
