Publisher's Synopsis
The incidence of vascular pathologies and mainly those associated with atherosclerosis continues to increase worldwide, affecting the quality indicators of health services and the quality of life of the population. The possibility of making a contribution to improve these indexes stimulated the development of this research. The scientific problem formulated led to the design and implementation of a Technological Guide that would contribute to the improvement of the diagnostic process of patients with clinical stroke, by the Carotid Color Doppler Echo technique. The proposal is considered beneficial for the mastery of the technical work algorithm applicable to ultrasonographic procedures. The analysis of the consensus obtained in the consultation with specialists, as well as the characteristics of the Technological Guide and its components, led to consider it pertinent and viable for the solution of the scientific problem posed.
