Description
Background In developing countries, access to diagnostic technology is limited by economic, social and geographical barriers. Diagnostic tools must be sustainable, effective and low cost. Case A 30-year-old man was admitted in a rural hospital with fever and chest pain and managed successfully with a goal-directed sonographic approach. Conclusion Ultrasound is a point of care, rapid, noninvasive and low-cost technology. Primary goal-directed ultrasound can be a high-impact diagnostic tool in scarce resource scenarios
