Inferior Vena Cava Diameter

Background: The incidence of heart failure as well as its treatment costs and rehospitalization rates are increasing worldwide. Physical assessment of elderly patients with heart failure living in their homes is challenging for community nurses. Pocket-sized echocardiographs will be useful for assessing the condition of the patients with heart failure during home-visit care. Objectives: This pilot study aimed to examine the feasibility of measuring the inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter using a pocket-sized ultrasound device. Methods: Nursing students were trained to use the pocket-sized ultrasound device (PUSD) for measuring the inferior vena cava diameter of a healthy subject. We evaluated the accuracy and rapidity of the nursing students’ measurements compared with those of an expert sonographer. Results: In total, 83.3% of the participants accurately visualized the IVC using the PSUD. There was no significant difference in the mean IVC diameter between that measured by the students and the sonographer. In total, 25% of the participants accurately measured the IVC diameter. The mean measurement time was 201 seconds. Conclusion: Our training program allowed the participants to accurately visualize the IVC using the PSUD. However, these results on accuracy and measurement time still need to be improved before community nurses can use the PSUD during home visits.
