Clinical applications of the venous excess ultrasound (VExUS) score: conceptual review and case series [PDF]
The Ultrasound Journal, 2021 The importance of functional right ventricular failure and resultant splanchnic venous congestion has long been under-appreciated and is difficult to assess by traditional physical examination and standard diagnostic imaging.

Quantifying systemic congestion with Point-Of-Care ultrasound: development of the venous excess ultrasound grading system [PDF]
The Ultrasound Journal, 2020 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 signs of venous congestion at the bedside.

The effect of gravity-induced preload change on the venous excess ultrasound (VExUS) score and internal jugular vein Doppler in healthy volunteers [PDF]
Intensive Care Medicine Experimental, 2023 Background The venous excess ultrasound (VExUS) score is a multi-organ Doppler approach to assess venous congestion. Despite growing use of VExUS in research and clinical practice, other veins can be visualized to assess for venous hypertension, which ...
