A: What does [Maximal height of Internal Jugular Vein] represent?
B: What are the 4 Steps to measure this?
A: [Maximal height of Internal Jugular Vein] indicates Right Atrial pressure—>reflects hydration & volume status
B:
1st: STAND on pt R side and have them lay back with table at 30-45º
2nd: Turns pt head to the left and point out [Maximal height of RIGHT Internal Jugular Vein]
3rd: Take ruler and measure from [Sternal Angle of Louis] to the maximal height of R Internal Jug Vein
4th: Add 5 cm to that measurement = JVP
A: How do you determine correct BP cuff size for a pt?

B: What are the 4 principal factor that influence Arterial Blood pressure?
- WIDTH OF CUFF should be 40% of patient arm circumference
- ## LENGTH OF BLADDER should be 80% of patient arm circumferenceB:

B: What about the Left Ventricle?
- RV occupies MOST of anterior cardiac surface
- RV is a wedge-like structure sitting BEHIND and to the LEFT of the sternum
- It’s inferior border is just below junction of sternum and xiphoid process
- ## RV narrows superiorly and meets the [Pulmonary Artery] at the Left 3rd [Intercostal Space]B: Left Ventricle lies on the LEFT lateral border of the [Anterior cardiac surface]
A: Where is the surface projection on the precordium of the R Atrium?
A: Right Heart Border is from the [R 2nd ICS] —-> [R 4th ICS]
A: SPLITTING OF S2 is best auscultated in the ______
A: SPLITTING OF S2 is best auscultated in the [Pulmonic Area] = L 2nd ICS
