Summary

This prospective study will be performed in the Cardiothoracic (Chesterman) Department at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHSFT, Northern General Hospital. Pre-operative patients undergoing surgical valvular intervention, breathing both spontaneously and mechanically will be included in the trial. All patients will already have a central venous catheter inserted as part of their ongoing care. Patients will be eligible for the study irrespective of diagnosis or neck size. Patient demographical data will be recorded by Sam Jenkins following written consent, the day before the trial.

The goal of this study is to determine if ultrasound assessment of Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) accurately predicts Central Venous Pressure (CVP). Secondary objectives aim to identify if using the angle of Louis to approximate the location of the right atrium produces inaccuracies when measuring JVP. Comparing results in patients breathing spontaneously or under positive pressure ventilation will identify if the form of ventilation impacts on JVP and CVP recording. Correlating results between physical JVP examination and ultrasound assessment of JVP to measure CVP will conclude if ultrasound is a more appropriate tool, in an era where the physical examination of the cardiovascular system is becoming less valuable.
