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). --------------Contents-------------- 0:00 - Intro 0:46 - Patient Positioning 1:15 - Obtaining the IVC View 8:56 - Challenges Finding the IVC 11:40 - Transhepatic View of the IVC 13:05 - End -------------------------------------------- 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.
