Abstract

For decades Central venous pressure (CVP) has often been used as a measurement of hemodynamics, medication and nutrition for critical patients. In Intensive care unit (ICU) we use APACHE or SOFA score for prediction of mortality. We need a lot of time and procedure to get the prediction. Not every hospital can apply this APACHE and SOFA in their hospital. Since CVP is widely use in ICU for monitoring, we can use the value of CVP as predictor mortality. Method : A retrospective study conducted at H Adam Malik Hospital in Medan. Samples are taken by recording CVP in ICU patients. Patients who have a high CVP (> 8 mmHg) are recorded and seen whether the patient dies or can leave the ICU. Result : During the study period, 100 patients were admitted. 52% were male with mean age 48.5±16.5 years old. The overall mortality of 100 patients was 38%. There was association between high central venous pressure with mortality in ICU (p=0.004). There is a significant relationship between high CVP and mortality. Conclusion : High CVP is associated with mortality rates.
