Aparato de ecografía para servicios médicos de urgencias: qué muestra realmente un ecógrafo portátil durante una intervención
Eight prehospital windows captured on Suresult hardware, from free fluid around the liver to a pericardial effusion. Software is included on every model and the price is on the product page.
Respuesta rápida
An EMS ultrasound machine is a handheld point-of-care probe a prehospital crew uses to answer four focused questions: free fluid, pericardial fluid, lung water and cardiac motion.
- A phased or convex head paired with a tablet covers all four of those prehospital questions.
- The three-format D3Ultra carries convex, linear and phased heads in one 263 g probe, so free fluid, lung and cardiac windows come off the same device.
- The CD2 and the PD1 accept a cable as well as Wi-Fi, which matters when radio traffic in the back of a truck is heavy.
- Convex depth reaches 300 mm on the C5SH, enough for the free-fluid windows on a large adult.
- Every model exports JPEG, MP4, PNG and DICOM, so the clip that changed the destination hospital travels with the patient.

Línea pleural en la pared torácica
The bright pleural line sits under the chest wall with no aeration signal below it. This is the first landmark of any prehospital chest scan, and the reference frame a crew compares a B-line field against.

Acumulación pleural anecoica por encima del diafragma
A dark fluid pocket sits between the chest wall and the compressed lung tissue beside it. On a dyspneic patient this is the finding that separates a chest problem from a pump problem.

Derrame pericárdico en el D3Ultra
A dark rim surrounds the heart in a dialysis patient, recorded live by the buyer who owns the probe. Pericardial fluid is one of the four findings that change a prehospital destination decision.

Líquido libre entre el hígado y el riñón derecho
A dark stripe separates the liver from the right kidney in the right upper quadrant. This is the highest-yield free-fluid window in a focused abdominal scan, and the one a crew checks first.

Technique basics
How the exam comes together, probe to report
Choose the head before the call, not on scene.A phased or convex head answers the prehospital questions. The three-format D3Ultra carries both plus a linear head, so a crew does not swap hardware between a chest scan and a vascular puncture.
Convex 3.2/5.0 MHz · phased 3.2/5.0 MHz- Run the free-fluid windows first.
Start in the right upper quadrant, then the left, then the pelvis and the subxiphoid view. Set convex depth to 200 mm on an adult and leave harmonic imaging on.
D: 200 mm, F: H5.0 MHz on the header - Move to the chest without changing probes.
Find the pleural line at the chest wall, then sweep down the lateral chest for fluid and vertical artifacts. The same head that read the abdomen reads the pleura.
Pleural line first, then the lateral sweep - Read the IVC, then export the clip.
Bring the caval window up before fluids are given. Freeze, save a cine loop of up to 1000 frames, then export as DICOM or MP4 so the receiving team sees what the crew saw.

What the research says
The evidence, three studies checked
- Prehospital FAST beat physical examination on specificity.
In 202 patients with suspected abdominal injury, prehospital focused abdominal sonography reached 93% sensitivity and 99% specificity, against 93% and 52% for physical examination at the scene. It changed prehospital therapy or management in 30% of patients.
Walcher et al., Br J Surg 2006 - A lung comet-tail sign separated heart failure from COPD on scene.
Across 218 patients with acute dyspnea in a prehospital service, the ultrasound comet-tail sign showed 100% sensitivity and 95% specificity for heart failure. Rapid NT-proBNP testing reached 92% and 89% in the same patients.
Prosen et al., Crit Care 2011 - Cardiac motion on scene predicted who reached the hospital alive.
Emergency physicians with a two-hour course scanned 42 cardiac arrest patients on scene through a single subxiphoid view. Four of 10 patients with cardiac movement survived to hospital admission, against one of 32 with cardiac standstill.

Qué tener en cuenta antes de comprar un ecógrafo portátil para el SME
Before you buy
Qué comprobar antes de comprar
¿Cuál es el mejor ecógrafo para servicios médicos de urgencia?
Para un equipo que realiza exploraciones del abdomen, el tórax y el corazón, el Suresult D3Ultra es la opción más adecuada. Esta sonda de 263 g integra cabezales convexos, lineales y en fase. Para un servicio que solo requiera ventanas cardíacas y acceso vascular, la opción más adecuada es la CD2. Para un servicio que solo realice exploraciones en busca de líquido libre, la opción más adecuada es la C5SH.
¿Cuánto cuesta un ecógrafo para servicios de emergencias médicas?
Suresult publica el precio de cada modelo de atención prehospitalaria en su página de productos, con el software incluido y los aranceles integrados en el precio final de la compra. El PD1 tiene un precio de $2.139 y el C5SH-Pro, de $4.185. Clarius ofrece el PA HD3 por $3.795, más $695 al año. Butterfly ofrece el iQ3 por $3.899, más una cuota de suscripción. GE ofrece el Vscan Air CL a partir de $4.999.
¿Se puede realizar una exploración FAST con un ecógrafo portátil en una ambulancia?
Sí. Un transductor convexo o en fases cubre el cuadrante superior derecho, el cuadrante superior izquierdo, la ventana pélvica y la ventana subxifoidea. En un estudio de 2006 realizado con 202 pacientes, la ecografía abdominal focalizada prehospitalaria alcanzó una sensibilidad de 93% y una especificidad de 99% en comparación con las pruebas de imagen del servicio de urgencias.
¿Es un ecógrafo portátil lo suficientemente resistente para el trabajo en los servicios de emergencia?
Un dispositivo portátil Suresult realiza escaneos a través de su propia conexión Wi-Fi, sin necesidad de cables que conecten con la tableta, lo que elimina el conector más propenso a fallar en la parte trasera de un camión. Cada sonda se suministra en un estuche de transporte de aluminio. Todos los modelos se cargan en una base inalámbrica, y los modelos CD2, C5SH y PD1 también se cargan a través de USB. Suresult no publica ningún dato sobre la protección contra la entrada de elementos externos ni sobre la resistencia a las caídas, por lo que el personal debe tratar el dispositivo como si se tratara de un equipo electrónico de uso clínico.
¿Qué tipo de sonda necesita un equipo de atención prehospitalaria?
Un transductor escalonado alcanza las ventanas cardíacas situadas entre las costillas y sirve también para la visión subxifoidea. Un transductor convexo proporciona la profundidad necesaria para detectar líquido libre en un adulto de gran corpulencia. Los modelos D3Ultra y D3Pro incorporan ambos, además de un transductor lineal para punciones vasculares.
¿Funciona un dispositivo portátil de los servicios de emergencia sin señal de móvil?
Sí. Las sondas Suresult establecen su propia conexión Wi-Fi con la tableta y almacenan las imágenes de forma local en el dispositivo, por lo que el escaneo no requiere datos móviles. La exportación se realiza más tarde, cuando el equipo vuelve a tener cobertura.
¿Pueden los paramédicos utilizar un ecógrafo portátil o es necesario que lo haga un médico?
El ámbito de actuación lo establecen el servicio de ambulancias y la autoridad reguladora local, no el equipo. Cuando un servicio autoriza el uso de la ecografía prehospitalaria, un paramédico utiliza las mismas ventanas de exploración que un médico: líquido libre, líquido pericárdico, agua pulmonar y movimiento cardíaco. Ningún modelo de Suresult restringe quién puede manejar la sonda.
Can a handheld tell heart failure from COPD on scene?
Lung ultrasound helps directly. In a prehospital study of 218 patients with acute dyspnea, the comet-tail sign showed 100% sensitivity and 95% specificity for heart failure. The same phased or convex head that images the heart images the pleura.
How long does the battery last on a shift?
Suresult publishes continuous scanning times of 1.5 hours on the CD2, C5SH and PD1, 2 hours on the D3Ultra, and 3 hours on the D3Pro and D3L. A prehospital scan lasts minutes, so a 3-hour rating covers a long shift with room to spare.
Does the scan travel with the patient to hospital?
Yes. Every Suresult model saves cine loops of up to 1000 frames and exports JPEG, MP4, PNG or DICOM from the app. The clip that changed the destination decision can reach the receiving team without a cart system.
Is there a subscription on a Suresult EMS handheld?
No. Suresult Software for iOS, Android and Windows is included with the probe, and color Doppler, pulsed-wave Doppler, M-mode, measurements and DICOM export come with it. Clarius, Butterfly and GE each place software behind a paid plan.
Does a handheld replace ultrasound in the emergency department?
No. A prehospital handheld answers focused questions such as free fluid, pericardial fluid, lung water and cardiac motion. A full trauma workup, formal echocardiography and computed tomography stay in hospital.
Which Suresult model suits a single responder carrying one bag?
The PD1 at 140 g and the CD2 at 150 g are the lightest models with prehospital coverage. The PD1 carries a phased head only, and the CD2 adds a linear head for vascular access in the same body.
