Abstract:
Arm Swelling with a Camouflaged Cause Abstract. We report on a 72-year-old patient who presented to the emergency department due to a proximal multiple-fragment humeral fracture on the left. Despite correct therapeutic approaches, there was no improvement in the left arm swelling. Further investigations showed a provoked arm vein thrombosis on the left with a post-humeral fracture on the left. After therapeutic anticoagulation, the swelling regressed immediately, but with persistent lymphedema of the left hand.

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System III: Palpation
Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...
