Examining the Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) with Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS)
This video is brought to you by the Stanford Medicine 25 to teach you how to use bedside point of care ultrasound.
In this video we show you cardiac point of care ultrasound (echocardiography) by simultaneously demonstrating the position of the probe and ultrasound images. In this video, we focus on how to exam the inferior vena cava (IVC).

This video is led by Dr. John Kugler. He is faculty at Stanford and a hospitalist with extensive experience in point of care ultrasound.
The Stanford Medicine 25 program for bedside medicine at the Stanford School of Medicine aims to promote the culture of bedside medicine to make current and future clinicians and other healthcare provides better at the art of physical diagnosis and more confident at the bedside of their patients.

This is by far the most useful YT channel for bedside clinical exams.

Thank you :-)
Wonderful. There is no a better feeling of that of learning something❤
Excellent demonstration Dr Kugler
Great explain thanks Doctor
Great video, thanks!
Great video! IVC US is very useful in pts with spontaneous breathing but it has many limitations especially in mechanical ventilated pts then apart from focusing on physical exam we should not rely solely on IVC US but should combine it with lung US, cardiac US and internal jugular vein US.

Yes agreed! We make sure to cover all those in other videos. Thanks.
thanks for great explain 💯
Great
Awesome video. Stanford putting up to its huge tradition in Medicine!♥️
If you insert a CV line and measure the CV pressure directly they tell you it is unreliable, then the put a probe on the abdomen to estimate the CV pressure
Very well done! I often compare POCUS to driving stick shift. Subtle movements are the difference between driving smoothly and stalling. Your advice is well delivered. Perhaps it would be helpful to do an addendum with a curvilinear probe? From my experience it is easier to to use than the phased array or convex probe and can be an adjunct in obtaining images in patients who are very challenging. Also could you perform an example of passive leg raise to evaluate for fluid responsiveness?

Great ideas! Plan is to add more short videos to supplement these. Thank you.
Wonderful video! I read about using the motion mode to calculate the CI. Can you clarify that for me please? How we use M mode to calculate IVC collapsibility?
Is the hepatic vein the same one when measuring the diameter of IVC in the mid axillary line ?
💚
¿Alguien conoce una página de esta calidad pero en español?
What is the normal diameter? You said up to 2.5 is normal. I read in other places it’s 1.7
Excellent video, but I need the volunteer guy to contact me, lol. Super cute!
