Summary

Ultrasound is a widely used tool for clinicians to manage severe acute patients, seeking to improve the limitations of traditional physical examination and special studies that require patient transfers and can be harmful. This study aims to determine that a pre-established protocol of multiorganic point-of-care ultrasound can be beneficial performed systematically in a critical care patient, improving the diagnosis, detecting hidden anomalies, generating changes in therapy and guiding interventions. A multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial, against a conventional therapy group is designed. The study group underwent an ultrasound protocol at the entrance of an ICU, of optic, pulmonary, cardiac, abdominal and guide of interventions.

Conditions

  • Point of Care Ultrasound

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

POCUS protocol group

The findings of multiorgan ultrasound can modify diagnoses and treatments and immediate interventions (eg volume loading with saline solution, pleural or pericardial drainage, initiation of diuretics, increase in positive end expiratory pressure, etc.). This protocol is performed in the first 24 h of admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and is repeated at 24 h.

OTHER

Control group

Routine protocol of the treating team is followed
