Abstract
Clinical ultrasound is being increasingly used by health professionals from various healthcare disciplines. In Palliative Care some initiatives have revealed the usefulness of its multiple applications, allowing to answer various questions both in the hospital and at home. It should not imply a disturbance of patient wellbeing, and helps avoid the perception, both by patients and relatives, of “technological abandonment” in the most advanced phases of disease. The technological advance of these devices allows having options that combine price, portability, ease of use, and sufficient image quality to satisfy the requirements of use in the most common care settings in Palliative Care. The learning curve in its operation is relatively fast, and we hope that this series of publications with theoretical-practical material in the Palliative Medicine journal will contribute to establishing a knowledge base for professionals interested in this topic, which might be later expanded by providing a system for adequate accreditation of competencies.
