Objective: To describe the experience of the use and applicability of ultrasound by intensive care nurses in the assessment of urinary volume and invasive bladder devices. Method: Experience report on the use of ultrasound by nurses in the adult Intensive Care Unit of a public hospital between July and December 2021, after the participation of about 20 nurses in a theoretical-practical course focused on ultrasound-guided urinary volume assessment. Results: The course covered handling the ultrasound device, assessing and quantifying urinary volume, as well as discussing clinical reasoning and decision-making. In care practice, ultrasound is a tool that has come to be used by nurses to analyze permanent bladder catheter obstruction, urinary retention, cystostomy clearance, and in decision-making regarding tube replacement. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the use of ultrasound by nurses in the Intensive Care Unit is extremely important, as it is a useful, practical, non-invasive, and easy-to-use tool. This tool and approach were only possible after the course [...].
