What is the normal range for central venous pressure (CVP) in hemodynamic monitoring?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: 2–6 mmHg
The normal CVP is 2–6 mmHg, representing right atrial pressure and right ventricular preload. Values above this suggest fluid overload or right-sided heart failure.
