We are a non-profit organization dedicated to improving emergency medicine practices in Latin America.
Point-of-care ultrasound is at the forefront of emergency medicine, and ONDAS is committed to training emergency medicine physicians to be leaders in this field.
Why POint-of-Care Ultrasound?
Point-of-care ultrasound has proven itself to be a life-saving technology, with myriad applications in the acute care setting.
Bedside use to facilitate early and more accurate diagnoses
Enhancing the precision of life-saving procedures such as central line placement
Measuring responses to medical interventions
Guiding nerve blocks for acute pain control
Point-of-care ultrasound can be even more valuable in settings that are resource-limited. It often serves as a critical tool to aid in the diagnosis of life threatening conditions when other imaging modalities (such as X-ray, CT, and MRI) are not readily available.
