Study Summary

Venous overload has an impact on peripheral organ perfusion and on the short- and long-term prognosis of intensive care patients. The VExUS ultrasound score is a new tool whose parameters can be used to estimate this impact. This score was initially evaluated and validated on an adult population. ) In children, there is only one study looking at the use and applicability of this VExUS score, highlighting its feasibility in a paediatric population, as well as a possible correlation between elevated central venous pressure and altered renal Doppler (one of the score's components).
