Written by top practitioners in the field, this all-in-one text/DVD package is filled with practical guidance that helps you master clinical ultrasonography in a critical care environment. Here, you’ll learn exactly how to use diagnostic ultrasound as part of the physical exam, as the book examines current evidence supporting its use in the critically ill adult and child.

Organized by body system, Critical Care Ultrasonography features self-contained chapters that can be used as individual reference guides for a range of interventions, from transthoracic echocardiography to echocardiographic evaluation of cardiac trauma. Through this in-depth coverage, you’ll get a sense of how this essential technology supports the cross-disciplinary nature of critical care. The book’s authoritative content is reinforced throughout by a full-color presentation and hundreds of concept-clarifying illustrations, figures, and images. 
  • Comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals of ultrasound use in critical care
  • Guidance on ultrasound procedures enables practitioners to use ultrasound for vascular and axial procedures, improving safety and ensuring that nationally recognized compliance standards are upheld
  • Cardiac ultrasound chapters help you optimally assess and monitor the patient’s cardiopulmonary status non-invasively
  • The chapter on neck and upper respiratory ultrasound offers an overview of little-known techniques that have not been comprehensively described in any other source
  • Full-color format, with 495 illustrations that emphasize the basic skills required to visualize anatomic structures and interpret findings

Companion DVD features approximately 80 video clips that cover pediatric critical care, goal-directed echocardiography in the ICU, echocardiographic evaluation of valve function and endocarditis, and more!
