Going for the jugular: Has assessment of the JVP become neglected?

چکیده
Introduction The assessment of the Jugular Venous Pulse (JVP) is arguably one of the most challenging signs to correctly elicit. We present an observational study of the assessment and recording of the JVP in patients presenting as emergencies to University College London Hospital (UCLH). We supplement this with a survey of clinicians undertaken at a medical staff round and a review of textbook recommendations on the measurement of the JVP.

Defining normal jugular venous pressure with ultrasonography.
OBJECTIVE Determination of jugular venous pressure (JVP) by physical examination (E-JVP) is unreliable. Measurement of JVP with ultrasonography (U-JVP) is easy to perform, but the normal range is unknown. The objective of this study was to determine the normal range for U-JVP. METHODS We conducted a prospective anatomic study on a convenience sample of emergency department (ED) patients over ...
متن کاملProspects of jugular venous pulse assessment.
There is no controversy regarding the current clinical method of examination of waveform of jugular vein pulse. However there are limitations of clinical assessment of central venous pressure by jugular vein pressure measurement from the level of sternal angle. There are variations in the reported distances from sternal angle to right atrium as well as to upper limit of JVP. In erect position, ...

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally. Cardiovascular monitoring is important to prevent diseases from progressing. The jugular venous pressure waveform (JVP) is able to provide important information about cardiac health. Factors such as mechanical deformations, electric abnormalities, and irregular external forces change the fundamental shape of the JVP. However, curren...
متن کاملPoint-of-Care Ultrasound for Jugular Venous Pressure Assessment: Live and Online Learning Compared
INTRODUCTION Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a novel technique for the assessment of jugular venous pressure. Distance education may allow for efficient dissemination of this technique. We compared online learning to a live course for teaching ultrasonography jugular venous pressure (u-JVP) to determine if these teaching methods yielded different levels of comfort with and use of u-JVP. M...
