There is a mistake in this video. AV valve( Tricuspid valve) bulging into RA causes "c" wave. Not "v"wave, which is caused by rise in RA pressure due to filling of blood into RA while Tricuspid valve is still closed. "v" wave is followed by "y" descent which marks the opening of tricuspid valve.
correction: the v wave is not the buging of the valves after s1, that is the c wave. v wave as i know , is due to the atrial inflow of blood during systole prior to the opening of av valves and the beginning of diastole.
Oh man I realize this is a 6 y old comment but I'm just gonna point to this anyway if any new viewers see your comment, whilest the Internal JV pulse height has a near perfect correlation with CVP and should be the one to assess, the EJV also a really good correlation too and can replace the IJV
@@ahmedbenlahrech5352 Yes. There are studies to prove that. IJV pulsations are hard to find. EJV is easier . It is not unfortunate that this is not taught to students that EJV can be used as well. After all, it is primary school physics that says water finds its level. EJV connects to IJV and hence their levels will be equal.
That's the EJ, though. Agree that you can see the different waves and that this is definitely a vein but is using the EJ a valid method for estimating CVP?
Thanks for the video !! Really helps a lot. one point though, judging by the course of the vein (more oblique and it looks more superficial), i think this is external jugular vein instead of internal jugular vein isn't it? To avoid confusion, I think you should have clarified this. Because most books stated to use internal jugular vein to measure JVP but in fact external jugular vein can be used as well. Thanks !!
Thanks for your message Ryan. Yes you are correct, this is the external jugular (which just happened to be better viewed than the jugular in this case). Either can be used but internal is preferred minimize risk of over-estimation of JVP that can occur using external only.
why is it that some videos of JVP exam have their patient on a 30 to 45 degree angle and looking to the left while your video the patient is lying flat and facing forward? just curious
Poor quality demonstrations is my bet. MacLeod's clinical examination 14th edn states to position the patient supine, reclined to 45 degrees with their head on a pillow, head turned slightly (not excessively) to the left.
When assessing the JVP, the best position is that in which the JVP can be seen. In a healthy person (such as the one in the video) jugular pulsations are not usually visible at 30-45 degrees but will localize below the clavicle (as a normal person will not have elevated central venous pressure). Thus moving this person flat will allow the JVP to be seen nicely in the neck. In persons who are severely congested (i.e in decompensated heart failure), the JVP at 30-45 degrees may be above the jaw, and thus moving the person upright to 80-90 can bring the JVP down into the neck so that it can be assessed. As far as the facing forward is concerned, its clinician preference. Some get the patient to look to the left, others forward. It really depends on what position you can best see pulsations. The important thing is to ensure the patient is relaxed so that the sternocleidomastoids don't obscure the venous pulsations.
@@krishnaisgod1 I somehow agree with you there because we had a tutorial today and we told him that Macleod says that we should tilt the head to the left a bit, he however said no and his reasoning was that tilting the head may actually make it harder for you to see the JVP due to SCM contractions. Instead, just put the patient to 45° then slightly elevate the chin, light your torch 🔦 and then view from the belly button.
Sir You are using external juglar vein for jvp. is there any reference of using external juglar vein for jvp??? 2nd patient is not lying at 45 degree.. kindly first tell the proper anatomy of internal juglar vein And its proper identification for jvp..
@@Adsd822its recommended to use internal jugular vein because it connected more directly to right atrium compared to external jugular vein. But it is easier to just use external, and its okay too
@@aymanali1964 Patient doenst have to be at 45 degree angle! Patient can be at any angle!. The key is to adjust the angle such that you can see the pulsations and top of the pulsation clearly! You are measuring the vertical height for JVP .Thats why angle doesnt matter! Secondly EJV can be used since it co relates with IJV since they are both connected.
Was it normal or abnormal i m having this at base near clavicle External jugular pulse sometimes not always.... Like 2cm above sternum and adding correction factor of 5 that becomes 7 is it normal
Interesting, as this is an area of the body often examined by emergency medical personnel after car crashes where neck pain with no obvious deformity are present.
@@ttrdf I was taught quick physical exam of the neck is done while manual c-spine (jaw thrust maneuver) is held, then c-collar is placed. Probably wouldn't do this specific exam on a trauma patient but would definitely be checking for jugular vein distention prior to c-collar placement
I think you examined the external jugular instead of the internal one, and v wave represented atrial filling from venous return, the wave originating from tricuspid bulging toward the atrium is c wave. Nice video nonetheless.
its not a rule to keep patient in 45 but we use it as its midway between flat position in which upper level of distension will be inside the skull of patient and if we measure jvp in 90 deg position the upper limit of distension will be inside the thorax of patient if its not high enough to rise above clavicle
This video reminds me of just how smart doctors are. Especially cardiologists and neurologists. Now if only one of these doctors waa smart enough to figure out how to get affordable healthcare to everybody. All this specialized knowledge is not much help to a person who can’t even go to see a doctor.
FEW THINGS IN REGARDS TO THIS VIDEO AND COMMENTS: 1. IT IS USED EXTERNAL JUGULAR VEIN AND ACCORDING TO FEW EVIDENCE BASED MEDICINE RESEARCH IT CAN BE USED FOR JVP ESTIMATE 2. JUGULAR VENOUS PRESSURE IS IN THIS CASE 2cm, IF IT IS ADDED 5cm THEN IT IS CALLED CENTRAL VENOUS PRESSURE !?!? 3. IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE LAW OF CONNECTED VESSELS THEN YOU CAN MESURE JVP ON THE PATIENT IN SUPINE POSITION ON THE DIFFERENT ANGLES IN REGARDS TO THE HORISONTAL SURFACE!
How come that I found this channel just now? Best practical med channel
Perfect demonstration!!! Sir..U made it easy...thank you for your precious contribution in my clinical medical knowledge.

C wave is caused by AV valve bulging and V wave caused by atrial filling.

A-atrial contraction
C-ventricular contraction and bulging of Tricuspid valve
V- venous return
Also he said JVP of 7cmh2o but it is actually CVP and there vast difference
Shouldn't we identify the highest point of internal jugular pulsation not the external one?

@@lakyaamar So true
it seems external jugular vein
How can we achieve a reliable result with the actual measurement itself? It seems like such an estimation

well this was brilliant illustration .keep up the good work.
Really good video thx doc.
Fantastic!
thank you for your time
Money
and thank-you for my money.. Where is the base of the jugular vein?
the external jugular vein is not reliable for measuring the jugular pressure because of its course, we should measure the internal jugular vein.
Thanks for the video !! Really helps a lot.

When we can see and feel pulsations in neck
Are they normal ?

Isn't JVP measured in 45° inclined neck level ??
yes, I guess the Dr thought people would already know or he just forgot to mention it.
30 degrees
Good.thank you
Was it normal or abnormal i m having this at base near clavicle External jugular pulse sometimes not always.... Like 2cm above sternum and adding correction factor of 5 that becomes 7 is it normal
So it's normal to feel ur vein more if ur laying down
Is this swelling dangerous for the patient and does he have treatment?
fantastic
the best ever to me jvp exam
should the patient lying flat or propped up position to measure jvp ??
That doesn't look like the internal jugular. You can't use the external jugular to measure it
Mike Doe I'm confused right now
It seems EJV to me too..
It is External and you can use both
@@abdullahahmad4239 External can't be used , wrong information
Interesting, as this is an area of the body often examined by emergency medical personnel after car crashes where neck pain with no obvious deformity are present.
i don't think people should really ''examine'' this area, a form of a C-spine support is needed until imaging/physician clearance is the best course.

rotten apple we
There should have been arrows over a v cause I didn't understand av av av
isnt that the ext jugular tho?
very good video
thanks a ton:-)
Adding 5 is a correcting factor for keeping the patient at 180deg? beacause usually we keep the patient at 45deg angle
You add 5 cm to it because the right atrium is about 5cm deep to the Sternal angle. It's not a correction factor.
its not a rule to keep patient in 45 but we use it as its midway between flat position in which upper level of distension will be inside the skull of patient and if we measure jvp in 90 deg position the upper limit of distension will be inside the thorax of patient if its not high enough to rise above clavicle
But we normally we measure it from internal jugular vein
Best
What you call V wave, isnt'it actually the C wave, as illustrated in the wave-profile image?

Is the patient condition normal?
He is due for a flight
Anything less than 3cm is normal (JVP)
Patient is not on 45 degrees so this is a wrorg procedure
