Manual Of Emergency & Critical Care Ultrasound

Manual of Emergency and Critical Care Ultrasound
The use of ultrasound has revolutionized the way many acute injuries and
conditions are managed in emergency departments (ED) and critical care units,
with several accrediting agenciesmandating that physicians become proficient
in the applications and interpretation of ultrasound. Today, EDs and critical
care units nationwide are outfittedwith ultrasound equipment, allowing acute
conditions such as ectopic pregnancy or abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture
to be diagnosed within critical seconds.
This book is a practical and concise introduction to bedside emergency ultrasound.
It covers the full spectrum of conditions diagnosed via this modality
and gives useful instruction for using ultrasound to guide commonly performed
invasive procedures. It introduces the major applications for emergency
ultrasound by using focused diagnostic questions and teaching the
image acquisition skills needed to answer these questions. Images of positive
and negative findings for each application (FAST, echocardiography, etc.) are
presented, as well as scanning tips for improved image quality. Each section
also contains a review of the literature supporting each application.
