Ultrasound Evaluation of the Jugular Venous Pulse (US-JVP)

US-JVP
Start date: September 16, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The jugular venous pulse (JVP) reflects changes in the right atrial pressure and its evaluation can be useful in managing many emergency conditions for guiding the fluid administration as well as in the diagnosis and/or prognosis of many heart and lung diseases. The present study aims: i) To validate a novel ultrasonographic (US) technique for obtaining the JVP from a high-resolution B-mode sonograms sequence, recording the changes of the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the internal jugular veins (IJV) over the cardiac cycle; ii) To develop physical and mathematical models capable of providing an indirect estimate of central venous pressure (CVP) from the changes in IJV-CSA acquired through the US investigation, and iii) To test the transferability of the novel US-JVP technique in a clinical setting.
