ABSTRACT

Currently the ultrasonography is consider like an useful instrument in the visual diagnosis, with a concept of recognition and an early intervention in the ill patient that provide information in real time of the anatomy and hemodynamic to the bedside of the patient, which is a crucial component of the modern management in the critically ill patient. During the preamble to establish guidelines that lead us to specific concepts and protocols, there have been commons characteristics that show the feasible and useful ways to carry out the performance of the ultrasonography to the patient in the intensive care unit, like, to define an emergency case, a response to direct objectives that consist in questions that could modify the course of a clinical condition, clarity to the interpretation and finally to be quickly and sequential, making possible the interruption of the disease process when the situation has identified that respond to the initial objectives. For that reason, it has realized a summary about the techniques of ultrasound that can be realized by the intensivist with an appropriate academic training and university endorsement.
