Cardiac return assist blanket (CRAB) safely increases central venous pressure
The CRAB controllably increases CVP, and 40 cmH<sub>2</sub>O of CRAB pressure increases CVP by 6.41 mmHg. The effect of the CRAB is greater than that with the SLR, Trendelenburg position, or 1 L of CSL.This trial was registered with the ANZCTR (ACTRN12621000840886: https://www.anzctr.org.au).
