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 کاملThe jugular venous pressure revisited.
Assessment of the jugular venous pressure is often inadequately performed and undervalued. Here, we review the physiologic and anatomic basis for the jugular venous pressure, including the discrepancy between right atrial and central venous pressures. We also describe the correct method of evaluating this clinical finding and review the clinical relevance of the jugular venous pressure, especia...
متن کاملThe Jugular Venous Pressure and Pulse Contour
Information that can be derived from an assessment of the jugular venous pulse includes determination of the mean venous pressure, venous pulse contour, and presence and type of cardiac dysrhythmias . The jugular venous pressure is usually assessed by observing the right side of the patient's neck. The normal mean jugular venous pressure, determined as the vertical distance above the midpoint o...
متن کاملDefining normal ambulatory blood pressure.
Providing normal reference values and the means to interpret such values in practice is an urgent issue requiring consensus. Five basic approaches to defining normalcy for 24 h blood pressures (BP) are considered: 1) the relationship of ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) to morbidity and mortality, 2) the relationship of ABP to end-organ involvement, 3) ABP levels in normal populations, 4) the rel...
متن کاملShock with Jugular Venous Distention
clinical syndrome that can be readily diagnosed at the bedside by observing hypotension and signs and symptoms of hypoperfusion (eg, mental status changes, weakness, cyanosis, dyspnea, and oliguria). There is a wide range of causes of shock, but few presentations include jugular venous distention (JVD). The common pathophysiology in the differential diagnosis of shock with JVD (Table) is inhibi...
