Summary

The objective of this study is to assess how fluid resuscitation, in the context of fluid responsiveness, affects the incidence and progression of systemic venous congestion in critically ill cardiac patients. Additionally, the study aims to evaluate the impact on clinical outcomes, with a particular focus on acute kidney dysfunction. This assessment will utilize the VExUS score in conjunction with comprehensive bedside echocardiographic evaluations.
