CV-PV exam Flashcards
What measurements above the RA and above the Sternal angle is considered an elevated Jugular venous pressure
RA >8cm, Sternal angle >3cm at head of bed 30degrees
How to tell carotid from jugular pulsations/oscillations
jugular vein oscillations will obliterate with pressure while carotid pulsations will not
Lifts and heaves signify?
LA/LV enlargement
Thrills signify

S1
beginning of systole, AV/PV open, MV/TV closed, heard all over, loudest at apex
S2
beginning of diastole, MV/TV open, AV/PV closed, loudest at the base 2nd-3rd ICS
