Evaluation of role of VEXUS score in reducing intradialytic complications in critically ill patients-A randomized controlled trial

This review aims to evaluate if the VEXUS score can improve outcomes by guiding ultrafiltration in critically ill patients undergoing hemodialysis compared to conventional methods. Conventional fluid assessment in such patients is often challenging and can lead to complications from inaccurate ultrafiltration. The primary objective is to assess the incidence of intradialytic complications. Secondary objectives include comparing the number of dialysis sessions, ICU days, ventilator days, ICU mortality, and 30-day mortality between the VEXUS-guided and traditional ultrafiltration groups. The study seeks to clarify whether the VEXUS score offers a more effective approach in managing fluid removal in this vulnerable patient population.
