Increase your knowledge through this program, where you will find the best didactic material with real clinical cases. Learn here about the latest advances in the specialty to be able to perform quality medical practice"

Clinical Ultrasonography is the technique of examining the body using ultrasound that is used for medical practice, related to the direct observation of the patient and their treatment. These days it is inconceivable to imagine specialists in obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology or urology attending to their patients without the use of ultrasounds. This idea is also being extended to almost all medical specialities.

Clinical cardiothoracic ultrasonography increases the possibility of diagnosing and treating patients in an emergency situation or those who need critical care. In addition, it increases the ability to diagnose potential pathologies of cardiac and pulmonary etiology, and is becoming an increasingly popular and valuable tool to guide diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.

Its advantages include portability, accuracy, real-time visualization, reproducibility and efficiency. Its usefulness has been demonstrated in various hospital scenarios (emergency, intermediate care, semi-critical or intensive care, operating rooms, resuscitation, hospitalization, consultations, etc.), as well as in out-of hospital situations (home, public roads, health centers, emergencies, ambulances, etc.).

Technological advances have made it possible to reduce the size of the equipment, favoring lower cost and portability, and have increased the capabilities of clinical ultrasound, leading to a notable increase in its applications. Today, more accurate ultrasound cardiovascular diagnosis, safe ultrasound-guided interventions, precise non-invasive hemodynamic evaluations and rapid assessment of traumatic injuries are all possible.

This program is aimed at facilitating the updating of the physician in the procedures for the use of ultrasound devices as diagnostic methods for cardiothoracic pathology in the critically ill patient.
