Transesophageal echocardiographic acquisition of the venous excess ultrasound exam—a case series and technical description
2024
Overview
PurposeObtaining an objective, reproducible, and accurate assessment of volume status is one of the more difficult tasks in the perioperative arena. Since its advent in 2020, the Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) score has gained popularity in the minimally invasive assessment of venous congestion. The VExUS exam has been well described as an additional series of images (hepatic vein, portal vein, and intrarenal vein) obtained with a phased-array probe during a transthoracic echocardiogram. Nevertheless, there are no descriptions of comprehensive VExUS exams performed using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)—a modality that is routinely employed in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Clinical featuresWe describe techniques to acquire and interpret a comprehensive TEE-supported VexUS exam, which may be used to optimize the perioperative care of cardiac surgical patients.ConclusionGiven the risks of fluid overload in critically ill cardiac surgery patients, TEE-supported VExUS examination may be a way to reduce morbidity in this population.
