A high-level specialization for professionals seeking to achieve career success"

Ultrasound has been associated with many advances in healthcare in the last 40 years and has become an essential tool in dealing with all kinds of patients. This has evolved in recent decades, from being restricted to radiodiagnostic services, to being included in all healthcare environments.

Clinical ultrasound is the examination of the body through high frequency sound waves that provide an image of the zone to be treated, without exposing the patient to any type of radiation. This is based on sending sound waves that bounce off the body tissues and return to the device and the machine is responsible for generating the images seen by the nursing professional. Using this system enhances the ability to diagnose patients. 

Its advantages include portability, accuracy, real-time visualization, reproducibility and efficiency (cost/effectiveness). Likewise, its usefulness has been demonstrated in both in-hospital and out-of-hospital settings.

To use it appropriately, it is not only necessary to have a good technique, but also to have other skills such as speed in the execution of the test and knowing how to accurately interpret the information. An early diagnosis can change the treatment plan and the prognosis in patients with different pathologies. Therefore, it is necessary for nursing professionals to master these techniques which are highly relevant to their daily practice.

A unique opportunity to improve the quality of patient care and address current approaches to the different challenges that arise in their profession.
