Ultrasound Jugular Venous Pressure Measurements for 30 Healthy Volunteers

A cross-sectional study comparing four ultrasound methods for measuring jugular venous pressure in 30 healthy, euvolemic volunteers. The dataset includes results on measurement values, reproducibility, and feasibility for each method. It was authored by Karin Vogt and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare the reproducibility of different ultrasound measurement methods for jugular venous pressure.
• Assess the feasibility of transverse versus longitudinal ultrasound views for clinical use.
• Validate measured uJVP values against a previously described standard for euvolemic patients.
• Investigate the utility of uJVP for detecting hypervolemia versus hypovolemia.

Strengths

• Includes data from 30 participants (50% females), providing a basis for method comparison.
• Compares four distinct ultrasound measurement methods with specific endpoints for reproducibility and feasibility.
• Data is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for reuse and modification.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, indicating a limited scope focused on a specific methodological study.
• Data may reflect bias inherent to the study's specific cohort of healthy volunteers.
