Prospective Validation of the Venous Excess Ultrasound “(VExUS)” Score
, 2023 Abstract Venous congestion is an under-recognized contributor to mortality in critically ill patients. Unfortunately, venous congestion is difficult to measure, and right heart catheterization (RHC) remains the gold standard. Recently, a novel “Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS)” score was developed to noninvasively quantify venous congestion ...
