SMACC: The Dark Art of IVC Ultrasound
Thanks to plenty of people for their input, but especially Kylie Baker and Adrian Goudie
When I was first taught about sonographic assessment of the Inferior Vena Cava (IVC), the following table was unveiled with great solemnity:
IVC diameter (cm)
IVCCI
Estimated RA pressure (mm Hg)
<1.7
>50%
0-5
>1.7
>50%
6-10
>1.7
<50%
11-15

As technology develops; broadband access to data improves and educators embrace the new medium – we will see an exponential growth in alternate teaching methods.
