Practice VExUS on live Doppler.

Grade hepatic, portal and intrarenal Doppler the way the published score defines it. Every waveform is generated live and timed to the ECG, so you learn to find S and D the way you will on a real machine.

Live example VExUS grade 2, moderate congestion IVC 2.5 cm

Hepatic vein

Portal vein

Intrarenal vein

This example cycles through grades 0 to 3. The full trainer lets you change each vein yourself, freeze and measure, and test yourself on random cases.

What you get

Explore

Change one vein at a time and watch the waveform and the grade respond.

  • IVC diameter, hepatic, portal and intrarenal patterns
  • Heart rate from 50 to 120, with rate-correct timing
  • Wave labels and portal calipers you can toggle

Quiz

Random cases balanced across all four grades. Grade each vein, then the overall score.

  • Freeze the trace and hover to measure velocity
  • Answer key explains every call
  • Worked pulsatility fraction for the portal vein

Criteria and glossary

The grading rules, IVC technique and reading pitfalls in one place.

  • What the A, S, V and D waves mean
  • Why collapsibility is not part of VExUS
  • Every claim cited to six published sources

A sample answer key

After you grade a case, the trainer marks each answer, labels the waves on the trace and shows its work.

Here the portal vein was graded too harshly and the intrarenal vein too softly. Both are common misses.

Answer key
Correct
Hepatic vein: Mild

S is equal to or smaller than D. Both are still below the baseline.

Missed
Portal vein: Normal

PF (20 − 17) / 20 = 15%. Under 30% is normal, 30 to 49% is mild, 50% or more is severe.

You answered Mild.

Missed
Intrarenal vein: Mild

Venous flow is interrupted and splits into separate S and D phases.

You answered Normal.

Correct
VExUS grade: 1, mild congestion

IVC 2.5 cm is dilated and no vein is severely abnormal.

Questions

How do I get access after I buy?

Click Open the trainer on the confirmation screen and your key is filled in for you. The key is also in your receipt email, so you can unlock your other devices later. Your browser stays signed in after that.

Are these real patient images?

No. Every waveform is generated by code from the published grading definitions and timed to a simulated ECG. There is no patient data anywhere in the product.

Can I use this to grade my patient's scan?

No. It is an educational simulator. It does not read images from an ultrasound machine and should not be used for clinical decisions.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It runs in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, iPad and desktop. There is nothing to install.

Can my program buy it for a group?

Yes. Email [email protected] for a program license for residents or fellows.

What if it is not useful to me?

Email within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. See the refund policy.
