VExUS-users study

Understanding how venous Doppler impacts clinical decisions

Let’s collaborate…

about the study

The VExUS-Users study is an international collaborative projet to which all physicians using the Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) assesment in their clinical practice can participate to further our understanding.

The aim of the project is to determine how information from venous Doppler during Point-Of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) impacts clinical decision making at the bedside

Using VExUS? You can participate

Eligibility

  • Being a clinician defined as a physician holding a MD or DO involved in direct patient care. These include physicians from all specialties and general practitioners.
  • Use of VExUS assessment at least once per month during the past 4 months.
  • Must succeed an online test to show appropriate knowledge about the VExUS score (<5 minutes duration).
  • Have access to an ultrasound machine suited to perform some components of the VExUS assessment during their clinical practice.
  • Have more than 30% of their time dedicated to clinical work during the following 4 months

What is asked of participants?

Clinicians who agree to participate in the study are asked, as much as possible, to record information about all VExUS assessments they perform in their day-to-day clinical practice in a smartphone application during a period of 4 months (from the day of enrollment in the study up to 4 months afterward)

What is not required?

  • No personal information from patients are collected.
  • No dedicated research staff is needed.
  • Ultrasound images are not recorded or shared
