Resumen.
El ultrasonido como estrategia de cuidado a la cabecera del enfermo, o POCUS (Point-Of-Care Ultrasound), ha tomado actualmente un lugar primordial como herramienta complementaria en el diagnóstico y el monitoreo de pacientes hospitalizados en las diferentes unidades de terapia intensiva y servicios de atención médica. Una de las especialidades es medicina interna, debido a que en los servicios de hospitalización se atiende a pacientes con cuadros clínicos complejos y críticos, quienes se benefician de esta herramienta tanto para complementación diagnóstica como para monitoreo y realización de procedimientos invasivos más seguros. El ultrasonido pulmonar permite integrar el cuadro clínico y la exploración física para una mejor precisión de diagnóstico y monitoreo de los pacientes. Por ello, esta herramienta es importante en la formación del médico internista no solo en el ultrasonido pulmonar, sino también en diversas áreas afines a este método diagnóstico. Por esta razón realizamos una revisión de los conceptos básicos de ultrasonido y anatomía pulmonar, una guía práctica sobre cómo llevarlo a cabo, el estado actual sobre la enseñanza y formación en esta área, y la importancia en áreas de desempeño clínico del médico internista.
Abstract
he ultrasound as care at the bedside of the patient, or POCUS (Point-Of-Care Ultrasound), has taken today a primary place as a complementary tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients in different intensive care units and health care services. One of these specialties is internal medicine, since in the area of hospitalization patients with complex and critical clinical conditions are treated, who benefit from this tool for diagnostic complementation, monitoring and performing safer procedures. The pulmonary ultrasound is a tool to integrate the signs, symptoms and physical examination, for a better diagnostic accuracy and monitoring of patients. That is why we consider important the training of the internist not only in the pulmonary ultrasound, but also in other areas related to this diagnostic method. For this reason, we performed a review of the basic concepts of pulmonary ultrasound, a practical guide of how to do it, the current state of education and training in this area. As well as the importance in areas of clinical performance of the internist.
