Abstract
Introduction: The introduction of ultrasound in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) represents a significant milestone, fostering substantial advancements in multidisciplinary practice and positively influencing the management of various critical conditions. The application of pulmonary ultrasound, in particular, emerges as a versatile and essential tool, directly impacting the quality of care provided.
Methodology: A bibliographic search was conducted on the PUBMED platform, utilizing specific Mesh descriptors: Ultrasonography, Intensive Care Units, Patient Care Team. The search period spanned from 2013 to 2021, encompassing a total of 33 articles.
Results: The application of ultrasound in the ICU has proven to be an extremely relevant tool for multidisciplinary care. Pulmonary ultrasound, when employed by intensivists, not only provides a precise assessment of the mentioned conditions but also plays a fundamental role in rapid decision-making and treatment optimization.
Conclusion: Ultrasound emerges as a transformative tool in the ICU, shaping multidisciplinary practice and ushering in an era of more advanced and patient-centered intensive care. Its crucial role in swift decision-making and treatment optimization reinforces its position as an indispensable element in the toolkit of healthcare professionals in both the present and future ICU settings.
