Relationship between high VExUS score and echocardiographic parameters: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Journal of Anesthesia, Analgesia and Critical CareBackground The Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) score integrates inferior vena cava diameter and venous Doppler findings to quantify congestion. Findings are conflicting regarding whether higher VExUS grades reflect worse cardiac function. We conducted a

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 ...
