VExUS score: optimizing its use in perioperative and critical care ...
Nov 6, 2025 · The Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) score has been developed to grade venous congestion and predict acute kidney injury in cardiac surgical setting by combining …
The effects of vasopressor choice on renal outcomes in septic …
Background Patients with septic shock are high risk for developing acute kidney injury (AKI), with its associated morbidity. This systematic review assessed the evidence for an effect on renal …
Trajectories of fluid management after the initiation of renal ...
Background Fluid management is an essential component of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in critically ill patients. Both a positive cumulative fluid balance (CFB) and a high net ultrafiltration …
Long-term continuous renal replacement therapy and …
Background As of 2009, anticoagulation with citrate was standard practice in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for critically ill patients at the University Medical Centre of …
Abnormalities in gas exchange disrupt renal blood flow. Mechanical ventilation (MV) induces inflammation and damages renal cells. Hemodynamic changes from MV impair venous return …
Combining creatinine and volume kinetics identifies missed cases …
Jan 17, 2013 · Introduction Fluid resuscitation in the critically ill often results in a positive fluid balance, potentially diluting the serum creatinine concentration and delaying diagnosis of …
Table 1 Baseline characteristics of the study population
Background Myoglobin clearance in acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy is important because myoglobin has direct renal toxic effects. Clinical data comparing different …
Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is a cornerstone of the management of severe acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients. Despite being life-saving in several instances, RRT may be …
Machine learning algorithm to predict mortality in patients …
Background Previous scoring models such as the Acute Physiologic Assessment and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) and the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) …
Interventions to prevent hemodynamic instability during renal ...
Background Hemodynamic instability related to renal replacement therapy (HIRRT) may increase the risk of death and limit renal recovery. Studies in end-stage renal disease populations on …
