JVD measurement - starstruck

Posted: Jan 05, 2011

Thus far I have only had doctors refer to the JVD as flat or raised or sometimes at zero. Tonight, this doc says "JVD is 0 to 9 degrees/90 degrees" [I think]. I have found a site that describes JVD measurements, and one of them is 90 degrees--but there is no "zero to" part. Now I am second guessing my thought about it being 0 to 90 degrees. This doc is very sweet, but really mumbles the ends of his sentences. Anyone know about the JVD??

JVD - sm

I wonder if maybe they're saying:
"JVD is normal at 90 degrees".

Alternatively, they could be saying "JVP" (jugular venous pressure).

That could be it, too. Thanks for helping. - starstruck

It could be normal at 90 degrees (I didn't pick up from the website exactly was normal was, so thank you for this information). There is definitely a "D" sound in this report, so I'm pretty sure it's JVD. Hmm....
