VExUS Score Training for Medical Residents: Remote vs In-Person RCT
Summary
This ClinicalTrials.gov registration describes NCT07541768, a randomized controlled trial evaluating two training approaches for teaching medical residents to apply the Venous Excess UltraSound (VExUS) score for bedside volume assessment in patients with acute heart failure. The study will compare resident performance to that of expert physicians certified in abdominal and duplex sonography. Interventions include an in-person VExUS training program, a remote VExUS training program, and a no-intervention control.
What changed
This document is a ClinicalTrials.gov study registration (NCT07541768) for a randomized controlled trial comparing in-person versus remote VExUS score training for medical residents. The VExUS (Venous Excess UltraSound) score is used for bedside volume assessment in patients with acute heart failure, fluid overload, and congestion. The study measures resident performance against expert physician benchmarks.
For healthcare institutions and residency programs: this trial registration signals growing interest in standardizing point-of-care ultrasound training methodologies. Programs developing VExUS training curricula may wish to track trial outcomes, as results could inform evidence-based approaches to ultrasound education delivery. Medical device manufacturers producing ultrasound equipment used for VExUS assessment may also find relevance in training modality findings.

Training Medical Residents in the Use of the Venous Excess UltraSound (VExUS) Score for Bedside Volume Assessment.
N/A NCT07541768 Kind: NA Apr 21, 2026
Abstract
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of two training approaches (in-person versus remote) for teaching medical residents to apply the Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) score for bedside volume assessment in patients with acute heart failure. Resident performance will be compared to that of expert physicians certified in abdominal and duplex sonography.
