• 1 other identifier: 725-2023-OSS-AUSLBO
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 100

Brief Summary

This is an observational transversal study without intervention on the inter-rater reliability of four ultrasound measures of Internal Jugular Veins. Aims are : 1) to test the inter-rater reliability among a group of ultrasound measurements of internal jugular vein using a group of images, registered in several acoustic views of neck of patients admitted in Internal Medicine Dept of five Italian Hospitals ; 2)to measure the differences between ultrasound measurements in different acoustic views . The reliability will be tested by recording Ultrasound measures on images registered using an Utrasound protocol on 100 patients.
