Manual of Emergency and Critical Care Ultrasound, Paperback / softback Book

Paperback / softback

Description

Ultrasound has revolutionized a physician's ability to make urgent and emergent diagnoses at the bedside, and has changed the management of many acute injuries and conditions.

This is a practical, concise introduction to what is rapidly becoming an essential tool for all critical care physicians: bedside emergency ultrasound.

The Manual covers the full spectrum of conditions diagnosed using ultrasound and gives practical guidance in how to use ultrasound for common invasive procedures.

Major applications are introduced using focused diagnostic questions and reviewing the image-acquisition skills needed to answer them.

Images of positive and negative findings are presented, and scanning tips for improving image quality.

The second edition has been substantially revised and expanded, with new images, updated literature reviews, new applications and clinical algorithms.

New chapters cover additional procedures, musculoskeletal and pediatric applications, and the use of ultrasound in resuscitation.

This text is invaluable for emergency physicians at all levels.
