Purpose/Goal:
Electronic manometers offer an accurate and easy-to-read measurement. However, the transducer makes contact with patient blood so it must be disposed of after every patient. The team set out to develop a device to measure central venous pressure for sepsis situations in developed healthcare systems. The device will function in real time and demonstrate reproducibility. The device will also be more maneuverable and less expensive.
