BEDSIDE ULTRASOUND OF THE INTERNAL JUGULAR VEIN TO ASSESS FLUID STATUS AND RIGHT VENTRICULAR FUNCTION: THE POCUS-JVD STUDY
University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, United States of America
PDF20236 pages1.0 MB
Accurate estimation of fluid status is crucial in managing heart failure patients, yet current bedside assessment methods can be unreliable. This study enrolled non-ventilated patients prior to right heart catheterization and measured IJV diameters to calculate respiratory variation and assess collapsibility. The findings suggest specific cut-offs for IJV measurements to estimate right atrial pressure, highlighting the potential of point-of-care ultrasound in clinical practice.
