Summary

This study will evaluate the use of the Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) score to guide fluid management in critically ill ICU patients through a prospective, multi-aim design combining observational and randomized components. The study will be conducted in the medical intensive care unit (MICU), multidisciplinary critical care unit (MCCU), and cardiac care unit (CCU) at UAB.

Fluid Management

For patients in the informed arm, the overreader will generate standardized recommendations based on the VExUS score: VExUS = 0: Recommend a net positive fluid balance. VExUS = 1: Recommend a net neutral fluid balance. VExUS \>= 2: Recommend a net negative fluid balance. These recommendations will be communicated to the treating team via a structured process: documentation in the EHR under the POCUS note and verbal handoff to the resident, fellow, and attending on the primary team.

OTHER

No intervention

Primary team will not be informed about the patient's VExUS score and will not be given recommendations for fluid management
