Summary
This study looked at whether a special ultrasound score called VExUS can help doctors see changes in blood volume in children. The researchers tested 67 children aged 1 to 18 who were having treatments like dialysis, blood removal, or extra fluids. They did ultrasound scans before and after each treatment to see if the score matched the change in blood volume. The goal is to find a better way to monitor fluid balance in sick children.
