RESUMEN
Introducción: El ultrasonido es una prueba de imagen segura y efectiva que ha ayudado a los médicos por más de medio siglo en el diagnóstico de enfermedades y se ha convertido en el estetoscopio del siglo XXI. El dolor abdominal agudo es una causa muy frecuente en los departamentos urgencia y emergencias de todo el mundo.
Objetivo: Exponer la utilidad del ultrasonido en la evaluación del dolor abdominal agudo.
Método: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica del tema en las bases de datos PubMed, BVS-BIREME y Cochrane. Se consideraron en la búsqueda todo tipo de estudios publicados desde enero de 1958 hasta junio de 2018, a los cuales se tuvo acceso. Los idiomas utilizados en la búsqueda fueron el español y el inglés.
Resultados: De forma general, la tomografía axial computarizada es el estudio por imagen de mayor sensibilidad y especificidad en evaluación del dolor abdominal agudo, lo que supera objetivamente al ultrasonido. Sin embargo, la utilización del ultrasonido por médicos no radiólogos, como complemento del examen físico gana cada día más espacio, sobre todo después del surgimiento del Point-of-Care Ultrasonography.
Conclusiones: El ultrasonido realizado por radiólogos es una herramienta útil en la evaluación del dolor abdominal agudo. El cirujano general puede diagnosticar con precisión los cálculos biliares pero el diagnóstico de colecistitis y de apendicitis es más desafiador. Son necesarios más estudios para avalar la utilización del ultrasonido por cirujanos generales en la evaluación del dolor abdominal agudo.
