Product Description

Review

"As more departments now have access to ultrasound, it is important for physicians to be comfortable with the use of ultrasound in the emergency department (ED) and other critical care settings. Manual of Emergency and Critical Care Ultrasound is a practical and concise introduction to bedside ultrasound. It is small enough to fit in your pocket but contains adequate information to make it useful in the ED."
--Annals of Emergency Medicine

"A concise, clearly-written text....What distinguishes this text is the inclusion of chapters on newer applications such as chest sonography for the presence of lung water, ocular scanning for retinal/lens detachment and intracranial pressure assessment, and bone ultrasound for fracture and dislocation....A timely and eminently readable for the trainee and practitioner of emergency and critical care medicine."
--Critical Care Medicine

Product Description

This is a practical and concise introduction to bedside emergency ultrasound. It covers the full spectrum of conditions diagnosed via this modality, both for guiding invasive procedures and for diagnosis in critical-care settings. 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, ECHO, etc.) are presented, as well as scanning tips for improved image quality. Each section contains a review of the literature supporting each application.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Ultrasound Primer, Mar 24 2008

By EMCrit "Scott from EMCrit" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Manual of Emergency and Critical Care Ultrasound (Paperback)

This is the ideal guide for emergency and ICU ultrasound. The reasons why I can highly recommend this book:
* Beautiful diagrams combined with actual ultrasound images
* Length is digestible by busy physicians, but includes all the crucial points on each modality
* Fantastic procedural section, which allows you to utilize ultrasound to increase the success rate and safety of your procedures the same day you read the chapter.
* Layout is easy to use and aesthetically pleasing.
* Includes up-to-date evidence for each technique.

This text is ideal for both beginners and intermediate ultrasound practitioners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential resource for the full range of ED ultrasound applications, Dec 2 2007

By N. Genes - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Manual of Emergency and Critical Care Ultrasound (Paperback)

This book seems ideal for both beginners and more advanced users as well. The manual covers all the accepted and emerging uses of ultrasound - not just FAST, echocardiography, and line placement, but optic nerve sheath diameter, foreign body localization, DVT identification, and more.

Each color-coded topic features multiple high-quality images of normal and abnormal views, and anatomical illustrations to demonstrate proper probe positioning. The writing is straightforward, and equally suitable for "on the job" referencing or reviewing at leisure. The chapters include troubleshooting and pitfalls sections loaded with helpful imaging tips, and lit review tables to guide researchers, over and above the extensive bibliography. I also appreciated the helpful sample clinical protocols, included to guide physicians' decision-making for starting therapy, calling consults, or considering other imaging methods.

Altogether, this concise manual is packed with information to guide physicians at all levels of training through the full range of ED ultrasonography. Emergency and Critical Care Ultrasound ought to be part of every department's library.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Emergency Ultrasound Text, Dec 2 2007

By sp - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Manual of Emergency and Critical Care Ultrasound (Paperback)

This is the best introductory text to emergency ultrasound that I've ever read. Like all introductory books, it starts with a brief, useful introduction to the physics of ultrasound concentrating on those aspects relevant to emergency applications. The book then moves to diagnostic and procedural uses of ultrasound in the ED. These sections go far beyond the traditional topics of the FAST exam and central line placement to include such varied applications as chest ultrasound, ocular US, foreign body removal, joint aspiration, lumbar puncture, etc. Further unlike other texts, this manual supports the text with quality anatomic diagrams along with sonographic images of both normal and abnormal examples. This method of demonstrating anatomy in conjunction with a normal sonographic image juxtaposed next to an abnormal image is extremely helpful and is sorely lacking in other books of this type. If you are looking for an excellent introduction to ED ultrasound, this is the book!
