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
