Launch the Study R.E.S.H. that seeks to make Spanish the first record of shock.

One of the main objectives of this multicenter study is to prevent the onset of shock in high risk patients who come to the ER

The portable ultrasound is one of the basic diagnostic resources that underpin this study

The shock produced by any cause can lead, depending on their causes, a mortality rate ranging between 60 and 100%. However, so far in Spain do not have national data on the socio-impact of this disorder. Thus the Shock Group of the Spanish Society of Emergency Medicine and Emergency (SEMES) has begun work to carry out a comprehensive registration of patients attending emergency departments and hospital-acquired extra criteria of an earlier stage shock.

As explained by the coordinator of this working group SEMES, Ana Maria Ship Serrano, the aim is not only counting and understanding of cases of shock in our country, but rather to prevent those patients at high risk of developing this disorder get to experience it, with its consequent impact on morbidity and mortality. Therefore, as stressed by this expert, as there are no data on them collected in the Spanish territory, is the first study of this nature in our country.

The work, which has now begun collecting data, is a prospective, multicenter (14 centers throughout Spain). Until March this record will be included in any type of shock, including cardiogenic. It has scheduled the release of the main results of data collection in the National Congress SEMES (June) and at the European Congress of Emergency (September).

He has compiled a table of information gathering, in the
which takes into account data on personal background, family, initial symptoms and diagnostic times. In addition, provide additional evidence that should be performed in the early diagnosis, including ultrasound is portable, since these are patients who are cared for in both the extra urgency as hospital.

Our goal as a group of well-known shock is precisely this condition and prevent the patient comes to developing, a difficult challenge given the different types of shock with which we face. In this context, says Dr. Navio, portable ultrasound has emerged as an indispensable diagnostic tool, is essential in preventing the progression to shock many people.

Ultrasound in Emergency Services is justified by the emergency physician can quickly find answers to key questions that enable the best possible guide diagnosis and patient management. This is facilitated by the availability of portable ultrasound equipment. Its versatility and portability, together with its high and varied services, have positive clinical consequences. In the hospital setting, because these teams can decide quickly between observation versus urgent surgery or hospitalization versus outpatient follow-up on the other hand, in pre-hospital emergency services, having a portable ultrasound device is intended to aid diagnosis provide the best possible guidance to a share of a hospital, service or specialist determined.

In the study R.E.S.H. with ultrasound is provided by the company SonoSite Ibérica, which recently has been marketed in Spain portable ultrasound S-FAST ultrasound the first product designed exclusively to meet the viewing needs of the emergency physician and represents a radical change in the field of ultrasound.
