Ultrasound Scan in Intensive Medicine, a New Cuban Experience

Ultrasound Scan in Intensive Medicine, a New Cuban Experience






Havana, April 14 (Prensa Latina) The Cuban experience in the application of ultrasound scan in intensive medicine is considered as one of most interesting issues debated at the International Congress URGRAV-2017, held in Havana.

In Cuba, the intensivists do not have this competition to date, hence the great importance of tackling down this issue in this event, Hector Diaz, Dr. told Prensa Latina, who launched a book project on the use of ultrasound scan in critical care medicine.

He explained that this kind of tool has always been an important instrument belonging to radiologists; and even though it is frequently used in Cardiology or Gynecobstetrics, there is no precedent of being previously used in the intensive medicine in Cuba. Several colleagues and I have been working hard for some years on clinical ultrasound scan applied to our specialty. It is a skill that we want to implement.

Hector pointed out that his presentation at the 7th International Congress of Emergencies and Intensive Care, URGRAV-2017, was based on the current impact that this initiative has had on the Cuban intensive medicine.
