Can peripheral venous pressure be interchangeable with central venous pressure in patients undergoing cardiac surgery?

abstract：OBJECTIVES:To establish a preliminary list of critical incidents (CIs) associated with mechanical ventilation and to describe a CI reporting method. DESIGN:A list of CIs was established based on a consensus among ICU caregivers. The list was compared to CIs collected prospectively during a predefined study period. SE...
