Utilização do ultrassom point-of-care no atendimento de pacientes com abscesso nas partes moles: uma revisão de literatura
Main Article Content
Abstract
Abstract: The objective was to evaluate the applicability of the use of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) in the treatment of patients with abscess in the parts and to assist in the treatment of the sick. This is an integrative literature review, of a descriptive qualitative nature, prepared by collecting data from primary sources. Observational studies, studies of systematic literature studies, prospective studies, case-control studies and meta-analyses were included. It was concluded that performing ultrasound at the point of care (POCUS) in practice is essential as a diagnostic support as a clinical use of patients with soft tissue abscesses.
