Full Description
A brand new series from Oxford University Press, the Oxford Clinical Imaging Guides are specifically designed to help doctors master bedside ultrasound imaging techniques. Each guide explains the principles and practice of using imaging in an easy-to-read, highly-illustrated, and authoritative manner.
Practical Perioperative Transoesophageal Echocardiography, Third Edition, is the definitive guide dedicated to helping clinicians use this essential imaging technique to manage perioperative cardiac patients.
Capturing the latest evidence-based developments; this resource offers authoritative guidance on monitoring and procedures for cardiac anaesthetists and intensivists. International expert authors help you apply this knowledge via clear step-by-step techniques with a focus on problem-solving and safe practice.
Extensively illustrated itself, the book comes with online access to even more content: over 670 videos with corresponding annotated still frames, plus you can test your knowledge by answering over 145 self-assessment questions.
This guide teaches you exactly what you need to know by covering the curriculum for the British Society of Echocardiography accreditation in Transoesophageal Echocardiography (BSE) and the European Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthetists/European Society of Echocardiography TOE accreditation examination (EACTA), and the US-based PTEeXAM.
An essential reference and interactive guide, this unique book should never be far from the cardiac anaesthetist's side.
