Full Description
Practical Guide for Ultrasound and Brain Doppler: Brain - POCUS is a handbook tailored for neurologists, neurosurgeons, and Emergency physicians, offering a comprehensive bedside reference for patients in critical condition. This book explores the brain hemodynamics and parenchyma examination in real-time, providing an orderly and protocolized approach, facilitating individualized clinical decisions with ease. Covering ultrasound configuration, in-depth anatomical knowledge, and advanced parameters, this guide aims to integrate brain ultrasound seamlessly into the Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) modality, addressing the critical need for comprehensive patient assessment. From basic principles to specialized clinical situations, each section of this guide is meticulously crafted to empower practitioners with practical insights. Chapters explore Doppler spectral wave interpretation, angle correction nuances, autoregulation dynamics, and non-invasive pressure estimations, among others, enabling precise monitoring and targeted decision-making. With a focus on integration across disciplines and specialties, this book bridges the gap between classical pathology and contemporary practice, positioning brain ultrasound as a pivotal tool in the armamentarium of modern critical care
