VExUS score
The Venous Excess Ultrasound Score (VExUS) was calculated for each patient based on the assessment of systemic venous congestion using the following parameters: Inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter and respiratory collapsibility, Hepatic vein Doppler waveform, Portal vein Doppler pulsatility and Intrarenal venous Doppler pattern.
