Hemodynamic Venous Congestion Ultrasound (VExUS) by ICU Nurses in Sepsis Patients.

NCT07406750 · Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 46

Summary

Sepsis is a serious condition where the body's immune response to infection overreacts, leading to organ damage and death. Venous congestion, a buildup of blood in the veins, can occur in sepsis and contribute to organ injury. VExUS (Venous Excess Ultrasound Score) is an ultrasound method that can detect congestion early. This study examines whether ICU nurses, after training, can perform VExUS reliably, explores their experiences, and investigates links between VExUS findings and clinical outcomes.
