Abstract

Point-of-care abdominal ultrasound (US) has emerged as a powerful tool for clinicians and is becoming a routine bedside tool to rapidly diagnose, manage hemodynamics, monitor fluid status, and guide procedures in emergency and critical care. Extended focused assessment with sonography for trauma (eFAST), is commonly used to detect free intraperitoneal blood in the trauma setting and may also be an option in non-trauma patients. However, it has significant limitations for detecting gastrointestinal or retroperitoneal bleeding. To date, there is no US protocol described for the diagnosis of occult bleeding in the retroperitoneal space. We describe a new US protocol called “Ultrasound For Occult Hemorrhage” (UFOH) for a fast diagnosis of occult hemorrhage. The UFOH protocol is a novel ultrasound-guided approach designed to detect occult bleeding in various clinical settings, including emergency department, intensive care and perioperative environment.

Resumen

La ecografía abdominal en el punto de atención ha surgido como una herramienta potente para los clínicos, habiéndose convertido en una herramienta rutinaria a pie de cama para diagnosticar, manejar la hemodinámica, supervisar el estado de los líquidos, y guiar los procedimientos de urgencias y cuidados críticos. Se utiliza comúnmente e-FAST (Extended focused assessment with sonography for trauma), para detectar la sangre libre intraperitoneal en el ámbito traumatológico, pudiendo ser también una opción en los pacientes no traumatológicos. Sin embargo, tiene limitaciones significativas para la detección de la hemorragia gastrointestinal o retroperitoneal. Hasta la fecha, no existe ningún protocolo ecográfico descrito para el diagnóstico de la hemorragia oculta en el espacio retroperitoneal. Describimos un nuevo protocolo ecográfico denominado UFOH (Ultrasound For Occult Hemorrhage”) para el diagnóstico rápido de la hemorragia oculta. Dicho protocolo es un nuevo enfoque ecográfico diseñado para detectar el sangrado oculto en diversos ámbitos clínicos, incluyendo los servicios de urgencias, cuidados intensivos y el entorno perioperatorio.
