Echocardiography and Ultrasonography in the ICU

The text starts with ultrasound basics to introduce the technology to the reader. Chapters are then divided between echocardiography and ultrasound chapters and are further divided by organ system and applications. The book then wraps up with sections detailing complex clinical scenarios, ultrasound education, and practical aspects of setting up an ultrasound service. In addition to being a resource to aid a clinician's daily practice, this book can also assist in board review preparation, and relevant chapters will be highlighted as such, with indicators for high-yield topics and board-style questions. All chapters are liberally illustrated throughout with hundreds of video clips available electronically.

This is an ideal guide for physicians and allied health professionals who practice pulmonary medicine, critical care medicine, and emergency medicine, related trainees, learners preparing for the critical care echocardiography boards, and medical educators.
