The use of clinical cardiothoracic ultrasound in emergencies and intensive care has become a fundamental part of the nursing field. Therefore, professionals must be up to date in the use of this type of tools, which will allow them to develop their work in a more effective way. Specifically, by studying this specialization they will be trained in the use of ultrasound devices in the management of emergency and critical care situations, with total guarantees of effectiveness and confidence. 

It must be taken into account that clinical ultrasound is a tool that helps to diagnose and treat patients in emergency situations or with intensive care needs. Today, it is one of the most popular and valuable tools for guiding diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. In addition, it has the advantages of portability, accuracy, real-time display, reproducibility and efficiency. 

Technological advances have made it possible to reduce the size of the equipment, making it cheaper and more portable, and have increased the capacity of clinical ultrasound, leading to a notable increase in its applications. Nowadays, more accurate ultrasound diagnosis, safe ultrasound-guided interventions, precise non-invasive hemodynamic evaluations and rapid assessment of traumatic injuries are all possible.
