ABSTRACT:
Venous pressure is measured by monitoring blood flow in a vein with a Doppler probe, exerting pressure on the vein downstream of the probe with a cuff inflated at the rate of 10 mm Hg/second or more and recording the pressure at the instant blood flow stops. The cuff is immediately deflated. Measuring apparatus is also disclosed.
