VExUS-ED: Early venous congestion is associated with clinical fluid overload in patients with sepsis
In patients with suspected sepsis, mild venous congestion was independently associated with clinical fluid overload within 72 h. Abnormal hepatic and intrarenal flow patterns may provide additional information on venous congestion. Early, serial VExUS assessments may detect fluid intolerance and support individualized fluid management.
