[Results and advantages of simultaneously measured peroperative arterial and central venous pressure]

Central venous pressure and intravasal arterial pressure have been followed up during different operations in 80 patients of different age and sex. At the same time we have determined an exact fluid balance and blood gas analysis pre-, intra- and postoperatively. These examinations had some interesting results. In our view the most important result is that the anesthetist gets more suitable informations about intraoperative blood volume therapy by continuous measuring of central venous pressure than by the continuous following up of intravasal arterial pressure which is practised very often to-day.
