La ecografía domiciliaria: una herramienta de ayuda para la Medicina Paliativa

Ultrasound is a useful tool for the diagnosis, treatment and the follow up of certain common diseases in Palliative Medicine. Current technology enables these tests to be carried out in the home. Training for this, without claiming to be a substitute for the specialist, is possible. Ultrasound in the home benefits the patient by enhancing continuity of home care, as well as helping the professional, as it keeps the complementary tests in the same hands in the context of clinical diagnosis.
