Central lines or central venous pressure (CVP) lines are placed to allow access to the central venous circulation. They have several functions, such as venous access for administration of drugs/fluids/feeding and monitoring. Several other types of intravenous catheter exist and principles for interpretation of radiographs following insertion of these lines are the same. The analysis shows that the total knowledge scores of the pre-test, out of 60 subjects majority 35 (58.3%) of respondents had Inadequate knowledge scores, 19 (31.7%) them had moderate scores, 6(10.00%) of them had adequate knowledge scores level regarding central venous pressure monitoring by CVP manometer. However, after administration of SIM, post-test out of 60 subjects, majority 42 (70.0%) he respondents had adequate knowledge score and 12(20.0%) Moderate Xiii knowledge scores and 6 (10.0%) average knowledge scores regarding central venous pressure monitoring by CVP manometer among MICU staff nurses. The overall pre-test and post-test mean are 13.73 and 22.98 with SD of 4.42 and 3.87, respectively and ‘t’ value 12.45 which was highly significant at P<0.05 level. This was proved and accepted the formulated hypothesis. Chi square was computed the association between post-test level of knowledge with selected variables in that the age, education, work experience and prior in-service education of MICU staff nurses which is significantly associated at P<0.05 level, hence it is tested and proved hypothesis.
