Venous Excess Doppler ultrasound assessment and loop diuretic efficiency in acute cardiorenal syndrome [PDF]
Background Cardiorenal syndrome poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. The Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) grading system based on the combination of venous Doppler assessments has shown potential in predicting acute kidney injury and ...

Correlation between right atrial pressure measured via right heart catheterization and venous excess ultrasound, inferior vena cava diameter, and ultrasound-measured jugular venous pressure: a prospective observational study [PDF]
Background Venous congestion is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, necessitating accurate venous pressure assessment. Current methods, such as right heart catheterization (RHC), have limitations.

Clinical applications of the venous excess ultrasound (VExUS) score: conceptual review and case series [PDF]
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.

Utility of VExUS score in the peri-operative care unit, intensive care unit, and emergency setting - A systematic review [PDF]
Background and Aims: The venous excess ultrasound (VExUS) score presents a prospect of valuable clinical utility. The study aimed to systematically review the effectiveness of the VExUS score in detecting venous congestion across emergency, critical care,

Doppler identified venous congestion in septic shock: protocol for an international, multi-centre prospective cohort study (Andromeda-VEXUS) [PDF]
Introduction Venous congestion is a pathophysiological state where high venous pressures cause organ oedema and dysfunction. Venous congestion is associated with worse outcomes, particularly acute kidney injury (AKI), for critically ill patients.

Relationship between point-of-care ultrasound venous congestion assessment parameters, intravenous pressure, and venous return: a post-hoc analysis of a prospective cohort study [PDF]
Background A recent study suggested that point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) venous congestion assessment poorly describes the changes in venous return during a fluid challenge.
