Does this patient have jugular venous distension? Vein finder-enhanced assessment of jugular venous pressure

Abstract

Assessing jugular venous pressure (JVP) may be challenging yet useful for establishing the bedside diagnosis of congestive heart failure. Vein finder lights illuminate superficial veins and thus can improve visualization of the external jugular vein.

Keywords: jugular venous distention; jugular venous pressure; vein finder.
