Introduction
Under normal circumstances, the peripheral venous pressure in healthy adults is generally between 0–10 cmH₂O in the upper limbs and 30–100 cmH₂O in the lower limbs. Normal peripheral venous pressure may vary due to individual differences and measurement methods. These values are for reference only, and the actual normal range may vary depending on multiple factors such as age, gender, and physiological status.

Under normal circumstances, the peripheral venous pressure in healthy adults is generally between 0–10 cmH₂O in the upper limbs and between 30–100 cmH₂O in the lower limbs. Normal peripheral venous pressure may vary due to individual differences and measurement methods. A detailed explanation is as follows:

Peripheral venous pressure refers to the venous blood pressure in various organs. When cardiac pumping function declines and central venous pressure increases, peripheral venous return is similarly affected, leading to elevated peripheral venous pressure. In healthy adults, venous pressure in the upper limbs typically ranges from 0 to 10 cmH₂O (equivalent to 0–10 mmHg), while in the lower limbs it usually ranges from 30 to 100 cmH₂O (equivalent to 30–100 mmHg).

These values are for reference only; the actual normal range may vary depending on multiple factors such as age, gender, body position, body weight, and volume status. Additionally, different measurement techniques and equipment may yield different results. Therefore, in clinical practice, interpretation and assessment of peripheral venous pressure measurements should be based on individual circumstances and medical guidance. If you have any concerns or require specific diagnosis and treatment, please consult a qualified physician.
