The Handbook of Critical Care and Emergency Ultrasound is a practical, quick-access guide designed specifically for the application of ultrasound in critical care and emergency department settings. Point-of-care ultrasound serves as a readily accessible, noninvasive, and reproducible tool that can greatly enhance and expedite patient care within these demanding environments.
This indispensable guide demystifies basic concepts and offers the practical guidance clinicians need to make better therapeutic decisions and conduct safer procedures using ultrasound technology. The book begins with crucial chapters on ultrasound fundamentals, ultrasound orientation, probe selection, machine controls, and equipment usage.
In 22 further detailed chapters, it delves into organ or system-specific procedural applications and trauma patient approaches. The book also includes valuable algorithms for patients presenting with undifferentiated chest pain, dyspnea, hypotension, and abdominal pain.
Supporting the text are 259 illustrative drawings and photographs that demonstrate patient positioning, basic views, anatomical structures, and common pathologies.
The Handbook of Critical Care and Emergency Ultrasound is an invaluable resource for critical care and emergency medical providers seeking to enhance their knowledge of sonography and extend their use of ultrasound in the delivery of patient care.
