VAZQUEZ REYES, José Manuel et al. Ultrasound, from the Patient’s Bedside to the Classroom. Rev. Fac. Med. (Méx.) [online]. 2020, vol.63, n.1, pp.48-55.  Epub 05-Mar-2021. ISSN 2448-4865.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fm.24484865e.2020.63.1.08.

In recent years, ultrasound at the patient’s bedside has exponentially grown. Its application has been observed in the operating room, intensive care units, emergency rooms, first-level care and even in field work. It is so versatile that it facilitates diagnosis, improves patient monitoring and supports invasive procedures, all in a safe and effective manner. It has been used as a didactic tool in medical education that helps create a link between basic sciences and clinical application. Ultrasound is one of the most versatile instruments in contemporary medicine, hence, more training and research in the subject is a must and a priority.
