RESUMEN
La ecografía realizada por médicos clínicos no radiólogos se ha convertido en una herramienta de inestimable valor, que facilita el ejercicio profesional de los médicos de emergencia, cuidados críticos, anestesistas, pediatras, internistas, entre otros. Presentamos el caso de un paciente que sufre un cuadro de insuficiencia respiratoria grave y shock que requiere intubación orotraqueal y asistencia ventilatoria mecánica, luego de una nefrectomía izquierda complicada con lesión esplénica, lesión de diafragma y de pleura diafragmática. Se diagnosticó neumotórax hipertensivo mediante ecografía y se realizó el drenaje inmediato, con buenos resultados clínicos.(AU)
ABSTRACT
Ultrasound performed by non-radiological clinicians has become an invaluable tool, which facilitates the professional practice of emergency and critical care physicians, anesthesiologists, pediatricians, internists, among others. We present the case of a patient who suffers from severe respiratory failure and shock requiring orotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilatory assistance after a complicated left nephrectomy with splenic injury, and diaphragmatic and diaphragmatic pleura lesions. We diagnosed hypertensive pneumothorax by ultrasound and immediate drainage was performed, with good clinical results.(AU)
