- Right ventricular outflow tract doppler flow abnormalities suggestive of pulmonary embolism – case series and reviewby Toni Ivičić, Jasmin Hamzić, Bojana Radulović and Ivan Gornik on December 18, 2024 at 12:00 am
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the most challenging diagnoses in emergency medicine, mainly because symptoms range from asymptomatic disease to sudden death. The role of echocardiography in the workup of su...
- Correlation between right atrial pressure measured via right heart catheterization and venous excess ultrasound, inferior vena cava diameter, and ultrasound-measured jugular venous pressure: a prospective observational studyby Suppawee Klangthamneam, Krissada Meemook, Tananchai Petnak, Anchana Sonkaew and Taweevat Assavapokee on November 29, 2024 at 12:00 am
Venous congestion is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, necessitating accurate venous pressure assessment. Current methods, such as right heart catheterization (RHC), have limitations. Non-invasi...
- VExUS: common misconceptions, clinical use and future directionsby Philippe Rola, Korbin Haycock, Rory Spiegel, William Beaubien-Souligny and Andre Denault on November 26, 2024 at 12:00 am
There has been a significant interest in venous congestion in recent years, among which the VExUS score has been prominent, both in clinical practice and research efforts. We have noted some recurrent misconce...
- Decoding VExUS: a practical guide for excelling in point-of-care ultrasound assessment of venous congestionby Taweevat Assavapokee, Philippe Rola, Nicha Assavapokee and Abhilash Koratala on November 19, 2024 at 12:00 am
Venous congestion, often associated with elevated right atrial pressure presents a clinical challenge due to its varied manifestations and potential organ damage. Recognizing the manifestations of venous conge...
- Quantitative lung ultrasound findings correlate with radial alveolar count in experimental bronchopulmonary dysplasiaby Chiara Catozzi, Angelo Modena, Matteo Storti, Francesca Ricci, Gino Villetti and Daniele De Luca on October 28, 2024 at 12:00 am
We investigated the relationship between the degree of alveolarization and ultrasound-assessed lung aeration in a validated preterm rabbit model of experimental bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Lung ultrasoun...
