In recent years, point-of-care ultrasound has revolutionized the care of critically ill patients, and currently, it is considered an essential work tool for practitioners. Although its use is growing in developing countries of Latin America, for many reasons it is still underutilized. In this article, we describe the current status of point-of-care ultrasound in critical care in several developing countries of Latin America and address the problems and barriers that prevent its implementation. Finally, we propose strategies that would help to expand the adoption of this tool. |
