Abstract

If the venous congestion increases, the compliance of the right atrium decreases and the S waves becomes smaller than the D wave in mild congestion and a positive deflection in severe congestion. Because of their size, when assessing the interlobar renal veins, the arterial and venous wave forms are observed simultaneously. [...]we introduce the ‘B-wave’, an ECMO flow rate-dependent and position-dependent PW Doppler signal in some but not all hepatic veins that may be observed in some patients on V-V ECMO. Reliability and reproducibility of the venous excess ultrasound (VExUS) score, a multi-site prospective study: validating a novel ultrasound technique for comprehensive assessment of venous congestion.
