Central venous pressure

[michael]

Does anyone know how to change the value of the venous pressure (CVP):confused:

We have a scenario in which the surgeon clamps the vena cava inferior.
He also clamps the femoral catheter. The CVP has to change to an value wich is out of range.
In the editormode i tried to change the venous pressure. You can enter a number you want here but that diden't work.
I also tried to change the values of resistance of the venous return and the venous capacity factor. The CVP changes but i don't want te change the value of the PAP and the ABP.

To change the CVP values on the HPS6 format, you have to alter the venous capacity. This will also influence the PAP and ABP. Remember that the physiology is being maintained. There is no "override" of the CVP. You will have to alter all of the parameters.
