Utilidad clínica de la ultrasonografía en el punto de atención en el paciente con shock: Una revisión narrativa
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
El shock, una emergencia médica caracterizada por perfusión inadecuada y disfunción orgánica, puede clasificarse en distributivo, hipovolémico, cardiogénico y obstructivo. La ecografía en el punto de atención (POCUS, por sus siglas en inglés) se ha consolidado como una herramienta fundamental en el diagnóstico diferencial y la guía terapéutica en pacientes con shock. Este artículo revisa la utilidad clínica del POCUS, destacando su alta precisión diagnóstica en diferenciar los tipos de shock, con sensibilidades y especificidades superiores al 90% en escenarios como shock hipovolémico y obstructivo. Además, el uso del POCUS ha demostrado mejorar la precisión diagnóstica en urgencias, optimizar la reanimación hídrica y reducir la mortalidad en pacientes críticos. Su implementación fortalece la toma de decisiones clínicas, integrando un enfoque diagnóstico rápido y efectivo que favorece la gestión interdisciplinaria para prevenir insuficiencia multiorgánica y muerte.
