- When precision is vital, not having good image clarity can compromise success and create many complications.
- When the situation is critical, time is vital. You need an easy to use system with advanced image clarity to save these vital seconds which could make the difference for the patient.
- Having the right tools improves patient care, improves efficiency and reduces costs.
Quick and confident diagnostic with Sonosite
Point-of-care ultrasound is often compartmentalised such that the clinician will focus on one body system while performing a critical care ultrasound examination. Instead of this compartmentalised approach, VExUS allows you to evaluate for venous congestion using point-of-care Ultrasound and can be performed when trying to assess the fluid status of the patient.
The VExUS Score can give you evidence of venous congestion in the liver, gut and kidneys to help predict early signs of end-organ damage and allow you to change/optimise your fluid management approach for your patient.
It is about time.
