Ultrasound has been of great relevance for the advances in healthcare, becoming an essential tool in patient physical examinations. This has evolved in recent decades, from being restricted to radiodiagnostic services, to now being included in all healthcare environments.  Its use is indispensable in diagnostic tests and guided procedures such as Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA), percutaneous biopsy, abscess drainage, pericardiocentesis or paracentesis.

In recent years, ultrasound has become an essential tool for health care, since it allows health professionals to establish preliminary diagnoses that facilitate the filtering of referrals for complementary explorations. 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.

Now, they have become a popular and valuable tool in guiding diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. They have also helped to increase the potential of Clinical Ultrasound, achieving a notable increase in its applications.

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.
