In critically ill patients, fluid infusion is aimed at increasing cardiac output and tissue
perfusion. However, it may contribute to fluid overload which may be harmful. Thus, volume …

Organ dysfunction in the setting of heart failure is mainly determined by backward
transmission of increased right atrial pressure. Although traditional point-of-care ultrasound …

Aims Systemic venous congestion is associated with an increased risk of acute kidney injury
(AKI) in critically ill patients. Venous Excess Ultrasound Score (VExUS) has been proposed …

Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) allows for rapid, real-time evaluation of cardiovascular
and respiratory pathology. The advent of portable, handheld devices and increased …

Objectives Venous congestion is a potential cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) and venous
excess ultrasound (VExUS) score is a potentially useful tool in this scenario. The aim of this …

Organ congestion from venous hypertension is an important pathophysiological mechanism
mediating organ injury in several clinical contexts including critical illness, congestive heart …

Abstract Background Femoral vein Doppler (FVD) is simpler than the VExUS score which is
a multimodal scoring system based on combination of IVC diameter, hepatic venous …

Objectives The Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) score has been described as a useful
tool to estimate the degree of venous congestion in adult patients. The present study aimed …

Introduction Venous congestion is a pathophysiological state where high venous pressures
cause organ oedema and dysfunction. Venous congestion is associated with worse …

Background Venous excess ultrasound (VExUS) is a novel ultrasound technique previously
reported as a noninvasive measure of venous congestion and predictor of cardiorenal acute …
