dc.description.abstract | En las UCI, los estudios imagenológicos de alto costo como TAC, radiografías seriadas o ecocardiogramas consumen gran parte del presupuesto y pueden generar retrasos diagnósticos, riesgos en traslados y dependencia de servicios externos. La ecografía clínica o POCUS se presenta como una alternativa rápida, segura y costo-efectiva, al poder realizarse al pie de la cama por el mismo equipo tratante. Estudios internacionales reportan reducciones del 30-40% en costos de imagenología y cerca del 20% en la estancia hospitalaria tras su implementación. Este trabajo analiza el impacto de POCUS desde una perspectiva clínica, administrativa y financiera, resaltando su capacidad para optimizar recursos, acortar tiempos diagnósticos, fortalecer la autonomía médica y mejorar la calidad asistencial. Asimismo, propone un protocolo de uso sistemático en UCI que integre criterios clínicos, económicos y de sostenibilidad. | spa |
dc.description.abstract | In Intensive Care Units (ICUs), high-cost imaging studies such as CT scans, serial X-rays, and formal echocardiograms consume a significant portion of the budget and may lead to diagnostic delays, risks during patient transfers, and dependence on external services. Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) emerges as a rapid, safe, and cost-effective alternative, as it can be performed at the bedside by the treating team. International studies have reported reductions of 30–40% in imaging costs and nearly 20% in hospital length of stay following its implementation. This work analyzes the impact of POCUS from clinical, administrative, and financial perspectives, highlighting its ability to optimize resources, shorten diagnostic times, strengthen medical autonomy, and improve quality of care. Furthermore, it proposes a systematic ICU protocol that integrates clinical, economic, and sustainability criteria | eng |
