Introdução: O presente caso clínico tem como objetivo evidenciar o papel crucial que a ecografia de triagem pode ter na orientação de doentes em contexto pré-hospitalar, onde não existem especialidades médicas, os recursos tecnológicos são escassos e a distância geográfica entre instituições de saúde e hospital central é considerável.
Apresentação do caso clínico: Uma paciente com história de dor abdominal recorre ao Serviço de Urgência Básico, onde, entre outros exames disponíveis, foi submetida a uma ecografia de triagem, que revelou líquido livre nos recessos peritoneais. Posteriormente, a paciente foi encaminhada para o hospital de referência para uma maior investigação pelas respetivas especialidades.
Conclusão: A doente realizou os exames apropriados e disponíveis no SUB, e a ecografia de triagem foi crucial na identificação de sinais clínicos que permitiram à médica de serviço fazer reencaminhamento da doente para o hospital de referência, com base na evidência imagiológica disponível.
Abstract: Introduction: This clinical case aims to highlight the crucial role that screening ultrasound can have in guiding patients in a pre-hospital context, where there are no medical specialties, technological resources are scarce and the geographical distance between health institutions and central hospital is considerable. Clinical case presentation: A patient with a history of abdominal pain went to the Basic Emergency Service, where, among other tests available, she underwent a screening ultrasound, which revealed free fluid in the peritoneal recesses. Subsequently, the patient was referred to the reference hospital for further investigation by the respective specialties. Conclusion: The patient underwent the appropriate tests available at the SUB, and the screening ultrasound was crucial in identifying clinical signs that allowed the attending physician to refer the patient to the reference hospital, based on the available imaging evidence.
