Accurate and rapid detection of venous organ congestion, especially congestive hepatopathy, is essential to reduce morbidity mortality. The Venous Excess Ultrasound Score an emerging point-of-care ultrasound examination that can grade severity congestion using spectral Doppler evaluation the hepatic, portal, intrarenal veins, but its utility in hepatopathy unknown. We report a case acute liver injury where supported diagnosis guided management, leading favorable outcome.
Background: Due to the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a need for precise donning and doffing protocols personal protective equipment (PPE) among healthcare infrastructures is paramount. Procedures involving cardiac catheterization laboratory (CCL) are routinely non-aerosolizing but have potential rapid patient deterioration, creating aerosolizing generating procedures. Multiple societal governmental guidelines on use of PPE during medical procedures available Internet...
