Heart and Peripheral Vascular Lab

Change the head of the bed and the fluid status and watch the neck veins, heart sounds, lungs and ankles respond, practice with unlimited questions, race the clock to sort findings, and reason through five bedside scenarios with fictional patients. Nothing here is graded.

Part 1: Explorer, the neck vein bench

Teaching modelCentral venous pressure rises about 2.5 cm water for each liter of extra fluid. The jugular top sits at CVP minus 5 cm vertically above the sternal angle, whatever the angle; the angle only decides whether you can see the top between the clavicle and the jaw. Numbers are simplified for learning.
