Abstract
Description
Focused module on right heart assessment and jugular venous pressure measurement technique. This standalone resource teaches learners to identify signs of right heart failure, measure JVP in cm H₂O, and distinguish jugular venous pulsations from carotid impulses. Includes Learning Sets D1-2 video instruction, demonstration video of external jugular vein distension, and hands-on exercises with visual guides for estimating volume status (euvolemic, hypovolemic, hypervolemic). Features a comparison table distinguishing JVP from carotid pulsations.
