Technological advances have led to improved ultrasound scanners, which are becoming more useful in a variety of new situations"

Thoracic ultrasound is very useful in the assessment of diseases of the peripheral lung parenchyma, pleura, chest wall, diaphragm and mediastinum. Among its advantages are the ability to scan in real time and the possibility of performing the scan at the patient's bedside.

What is more, vascular ultrasound allows rapid detection of any irregularities in the blood vessels (arteries and veins), as well as in the blood flow, making it easier for health professionals to establish accurate diagnoses of the disease.

Thoracic and vascular ultrasound are among the most demanded disciplines in primary care. In recent years, it has become an indispensable tool in the physical examination of patients and for guiding diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. 

Ultrasound is a safe, fast, reliable, innocuous and non-invasive test, well tolerated by patients, relatively low cost, and which has evolved into new, smaller and more accessible devices.

Primary care is undoubtedly one of the areas where Clinical Ultrasound is most widely used. Nursing professionals can benefit from Clinical Ultrasound to favorably influence diagnosing and treating different pathologies, improving patient safety, reducing waiting times and possible errors.
