Abstract

Several articles have appeared in the medical literature on the use of ultrasound in primary care. Point-of-care ultrasound refers to ultrasound protocols performed at the bedside to evaluate many conditions such as aortic aneurysm or assessment of left ventricular function by estimation of ejection fraction. Primary care physicians can play a key role in evaluating such conditions for their patients. It should be considered that the use of ultrasound in general practice can not only be an aid to diagnosis but also an active screening tool, accessible even to those with basic training in ultrasound; the left ventricle and large abdominal vessels are indeed clearly visible with this technique, which with little training can become accessible to many. In a working organization, so few trained physicians would be sufficient to screen the target population of the entire group and extend the assessment to a large number of participants.

针对家庭医生心血管疾病的护理点超声波检查:风险与机遇并存。
医学文献中出现了多篇关于在初级保健中使用超声波的文章。护理点超声是指在床边进行的超声检查,用于评估主动脉瘤或通过估计射血分数评估左心室功能等多种情况。初级保健医生可在为患者评估此类病症方面发挥关键作用。应该考虑的是,在全科医疗中使用超声波不仅可以辅助诊断,还可以作为一种积极的筛查工具,即使只受过超声波基本培训的人也可以使用;使用这种技术确实可以清楚地看到左心室和腹部大血管,只需稍加培训,许多人就可以使用。在一个工作机构中,如此少的训练有素的医生就足以对整个群体的目标人群进行筛查,并将评估扩展到大量参与者。
