Jason Jaramillo

Jason Jaramillo, MD, is licensed to practice medicine in the state of New York. Moreover, Jason Jaramillo, MD, has hospital privileges at New York Community Hospital and Maimonides Medical Center.

Rated one of the top hospitals in America, the Maimonides Medical Center is a teaching facility and leading institution for medical innovation. The hospital’s Maimonides Center for Clinical Simulation provides simulated situations for training health care staff, assisting professionals to enhance their skills, and facilitating collaboration between medical professionals from different disciplines.

Robotic mannequins and task trainers such as the laparoscopic surgery trainer are used within the center to provide risk-free practice scenarios that are aimed at improving patient safety. The training programs offered through the center help to build professional excellence, reduce medical errors, and enhance teamwork among medical professionals. Some of the skills practiced in the center include the use of ultrasound-guided strategies for invasive procedures, surgical techniques, and specialized tasks, including endotracheal intubation.

The recipient of an MD from the University of Mexico School of Medicine, Dr. Jason Jaramillo is a physician at Allied Medical Associates. Dr. Jason Jaramillo is currently undertaking a training program for Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS).

A diagnostic therapy that is implemented to reduce the gap between the onset of a symptom and the provision of therapy, Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) involves the use of portable ultrasonography for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. POCUS has helped improve operational efficiency in clinics as well as enhanced patient outcomes. Due to its shorter diagnostic time compared to traditional ultrasonography, POCUS is currently being used in some emergency rooms, where it helps emergency departments make critical decisions by providing answers to specific clinical questions. POCUS has proved to be useful for treating patients with cardiac arrest, trauma, undifferentiated shock, dyspnea, and chest pain.

A state of tissue hypoxia which may lead to hypotension, shock can occur as a result of increased oxygen consumption, reduced oxygen delivery, or inadequate oxygen delivery. In most cases, these factors are caused by circulatory failure. To effectively treat a patient, it’s necessary for a doctor to determine the exact cause of the shock to devise a useful therapy. Through POCUS, a doctor or other health care professional can identify the major shock types, which may be distributive, hypovolemic, obstructive, or cardiogenic. These assessments require several scan protocols. The sonographic footprints guide intervention, as well as resuscitation efforts.
