La ecografía torácica es una técnica diagnóstica útil para el tratamiento del derrame pleural, que es realizada fundamentalmente por radiólogos. La ecografía y la tomografía computarizada son complementarias, si bien la rapidez de los resultados, la inocuidad y la sencillez de manejo hacen de la ecografía la técnica más accesible a los clínicos. En este sentido se ha valorado la utilidad de la ecografía torácica en una unidad de técnicas respiratorias manejada por neumólogos. Durante el período estudiado, la solicitud de tomografía computarizada para el tratamiento de los derrames pleurales complicados ha disminuido, al mismo tiempo que se incrementaban el número de ecografías torácicas realizadas. Concluimos que la ecografía, en manos de neumólogos que realizan procedimientos diagnósticos pleurales, es una herramienta útil

Derrame pleural

Chest ultrasound, a diagnostic technique used mainly by radiologists, is useful for managing pleural effusion. Sonography and computed tomography (CT) are complementary, although the former is more accessible to clinicians because it is safe and easy to use and because results are available quickly. We evaluated the utility of chest sonograms in a respiratory medicine unit managed by pneumologists. During the period under study, requests for CT scans to manage complicated pleural effusions decreased as the use of sonograms increased. We conclude that ultrasound imaging is useful in the hands of pneumologists who use the technique to diagnose pleural effusions
