Abstract

Transcranial ultrasonography is a non-invasive, bedside technique that has become a widely implemented tool in the evaluation and management of neurocritically ill patients. It constitutes a technique in continuous growth whose fundamentals (and limitations) must be known by the intensivist. This review provides a practical approach for the intensivist, including the different sonographic windows and planes of insonation and its role in different conditions of the neurocritical patients and in critical care patients of other etiologies.

Keywords:
Transcranial ultrasonography
Transcranial Doppler
Color-coded transcranial duplex
Neuromonitoring
Resumen

La ultrasonografía transcraneal es una técnica no invasiva y disponible a pie de cama que se ha convertido en una herramienta accesible y consolidada en la evaluación y el manejo clínico de los pacientes neurocríticos. Se trata de una técnica en continuo crecimiento cuyos fundamentos (y sus limitaciones) deben ser conocidos por el intensivista. Esta revisión aporta un enfoque práctico para el intensivista, incluyendo las diferentes ventanas y planos de insonación y su papel en la patología específica propia de los pacientes neurocríticos y en los pacientes críticos de otras etiologías.
