摘要: The use of ultrasound in the acute care specialties anesthesiology, intensive care, emergency medicine, and surgery has evolved from discrete, office-based echocardiographic examinations to real-time or point-of-care clinical assessment interventions. "Goal-focused" transthoracic echocardiography is a limited scope (as compared with comprehensive examination) examination, performed by treating clinician medical practice, aimed at addressing specific concerns. In future, practice surface will be integrated into everyday as ultrasound-assisted examination ultrasound-guided procedures. This evolution should start student level reinforced throughout specialist training. key making available every physician through education programs designed facilitate uptake, rather than prevent access this technology craft groups. There evidence that diagnosis improved yet data showing change management improvement patient outcome are few an important area for future research.
