ABSTRACT

During the last decade, ultrasound in the intensive care units has become in an important monitoring system. A better knowledge of the lung, abdomen and the vascular vessels ultrasound as well as the nowadays accessibility to the portable ultrasound equipments are improving the point of care exams. Its use has allowed both the superiority during the diagnosis stage of many disorders compared with the conventional methods and changes in the therapeutic protocols of admission the critical ill patients to the intensive care units. During April 2017, it was developed a workshop in Cienfuegos City in relation with the use of ultrasound as a tool for the intensivist doctors. The main object was to discuss this topic according to the new evidences. This article is done through the experiences, point of view and the research proposal obtained from the workshop.
Conclusions: the authors think that ultrasound as a tool for the intensivist doctors is a topic to develop at the intensive care units and emergency departments both in our province and the whole country. To make projects based in this topic will be so important inside our speciality. It is still a problem to solve how to do it.
