CVP artifact due to CVC tip location

Abstract:

Malposition of central venous catheter (CVC) tip leads to an inconsistent waveform with erroneous central venous pressure (CVP) readings. We describe a case where the transduction of a malpositioned CVC tip displayed a waveform simulating an electrocardiographic rhythm.
