Background Organ congestion is a mediator of adverse outcomes in critically ill patients.
Point-Of-Care ultrasound (POCUS) is widely available and could enable clinicians to detect …

Venous congestion is an under-recognized contributor to mortality in critically ill patients.
Unfortunately, venous congestion is difficult to measure, and right heart catheterization …

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 …

Objective: To determine the most accurate predictor of central venous pressure among three
point-of-care venous ultrasound techniques. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Medical …

Background: Lingering congestion portends poor outcomes in patients with heart failure
(HF) and is a key target in their management. Studies have shown that physical exam has …

Background Fluid overload is deleterious in critically ill patients. It can lead to venous
congestion, thereby increasing venous pressure, theoretically increasing the backpressure …

Aims We investigated the prevalence and clinical value of assessing multi-organ congestion
by ultrasound in heart failure (HF) outpatients. Methods and results Ultrasound congestion …

The role of venous congestion in abnormal kidney function is being increasingly recognized.
It is well known that unresolved congestion is associated with adverse kidney and overall …

Background: Estimation of volume status in the high-acuity surgical population can be
challenging. The use of intensivist bedside ultrasound (INBU) to rapidly assess volume …

Background The risk of pulmonary edema is the main limiting factor in fluid therapy in the
critically ill. Interstitial edema is a subclinical step that precedes alveolar edema. This study …
