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. Venous

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.

SARS‐CoV‐2–related ARDS in a maintenance hemodialysis patient : case report on tailored approach by daily hemodialysis, noninvasive ventilation, tocilizumab, anxiolytics, and point‐of‐care ultrasound [PDF]
Without rescue drugs approved, holistic approach by daily hemodialysis, noninvasive ventilation, anti‐inflammatory medications, fluid assessment by bedside ultrasound, and anxiolytics improved outcomes of a maintenance hemodialysis patient affected by severe COVID‐19.
