As new technologies are growing in all domains of medical care, an old tool is being given an inventive, effective, new role. Ultrasound used at the point of care, or ‘bedside ultrasound’, is st becoming the stethoscope of the 21 century. The use of this tool is now being practiced by physicians around the world in the routine assessment of their patients. Point of care diagnostics and therapeutics is a young field for which few textbooks are available to bridge diagnostic imaging by ultrasound, traditionally the domain of radiology, with acute management of patients. The Critical Care Ultrasound Handbook has been created as a teaching and training guide by Dr. Peter Steinmetz and Dr. Philippe Rola, acute care clinicians with years of experience using bedside ultrasound diagnostic and therapeutic techniques.
To develop one’s skill in bedside ultrasound, a clinician requires the technical skills necessary to generate adequate images and the ability to integrate this information into the clinical management of the patient. The Critical Care Ultrasound Handbook presents 50 case studies illustrating common pathologies found in the realm of acute care. Each Case describes a clinical scenario, corresponding ultrasound images and clips, a diagnosis, and a full discussion. The discussion section addresses both the ultrasound findings and the subsequent incorporation of the findings into the clinical decision-making process. The authors provide many relevant diagnostic, therapeutic, and expert procedural advice essential to the novice bedside sonographer.
