We've spoken about the concepts of venous congestion being problematic beyond just pulmonary edema. I've had Phil Rola on in the past to discuss Venous-side issues such as Renal Compartment Syndrome, the Vexus score, and other issues of the under-respected side of the circulation.

Today we go further into these concepts, with some concentration on the micro-circulation. There may be quite deleterious effects from iatrogenic volume overload–especially when we are compelled by government regulation to go against our clinical gestalt.

This is excellent. Venous congestion due to volume overload is a very under-appreciated issue, especially for those kidneys. Always a fan of early, aggressive de-resuscitation and conservative fluid use. Little bit of pressor is OK, get some fluid off, improve flow and perfusion. Thanks for spreading the word!
