Produktbeschreibung

Bedside Ultrasound in Critical Care Medicine presents the practical application of ultrasound to improve the diagnostic and procedural abilities of physicians caring for critically ill patients. The editor and authors have extensive experience in critical care ultrasound and have pioneered the use of transesophageal echocardiography and later transthoracic echocardiography in the ICU. The text is compliant with consensus guidelines developed by the American societies of critical care (American College of Chest Physicians, Society of Critical Care Medicine, and American Thoracic Society). The book focuses on concepts in a clinically relevant manner, including didactic chapters as well as clinical case chapters. Video clips are keyed to the text and included on the accompanying DVD.
