In this episode, host Dr. Pâmela Valelongo welcomes Dr. Rafael Hortêncio Melo, intensivist at HCor and Hospital Vila Santa Catarina (part of Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein), for a deep dive into VEXUS, a technique that is rapidly transforming how we assess venous congestion in critical care, from the ICU to the post-op setting.

This episode is a high-yield summary generated with the help of artificial intelligence, based on a full conversation originally recorded in Portuguese.

You’ll learn:

  • What VEXUS is and how it works
  • How to apply it in daily clinical decision-making
  • Pitfalls to avoid when interpreting the score
  • Why POCUS should be part of every residency curriculum in intensive care, emergency medicine, and cardiology

But here’s something important: every piece of content you’ll hear today was curated, reviewed, and approved by our medical team at Clube da Cardio because clinical excellence always comes first.
