However, the rela\u00adtionships between these assessment modalities remain poorly understood, with conflicting evidence regarding their correlation and clinical utility. The study aimed to eva\u00adluate correlations between clinical indicators of fluid overload, cumulative fluid balance, and comprehensive ultrasound parameters including cardiac function, lung ultrasound, and the venous excess ultrasound (VExUS) protocol in critically ill patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Material and methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a cross-sectional, observational study in a tertiary intensive care unit. Adults admitted for \u2265 72 hours with clinical evidence of fluid overload but haemodynamic stability were eligible. Assessments included focused echocardiography, six-zone lung ultrasound, and comprehensive VExUS. Correlations between cumulative fluid balance, clinical oedema, and ultrasound parameters were analysed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 195 patients screened, 50 were recruited to the study. The study population had a mean age of 59 years. Sepsis and respiratory failure were the most common admission diagnoses. The mean cumulative fluid balance was 7.1 \u00b1 4.8 L at the time of recruitment. Peripheral oedema was present in over 70%. Ultrasound revealed left ventricular dysfunction in 16%, right ventricular dysfunction in 10%, bilateral pleural effusions in 44%, and elevated VExUS scores (&gt; 2) in 20%. Cumulative fluid balance showed no correlation with clinical or ultrasound findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Traditional fluid assessment (cumulative fluid balance and clinical signs of oedema) methods show no correlation with ultrasound parameters in critically ill patients.
