Description
In current ICU practice, where ultrasound has become an essential bedside tool for diagnosis, assistance with specific procedures, and monitoring, Critical Care Ultrasound, 2nd Edition, is your go-to reference for focused, up-to-date, head-to-toe guidance on the optimal use of ultrasound with critically ill patients. In one convenient, comprehensive resource, it offers a straightforward, practical approach, an abundance of detailed ultrasound images, and online video demonstrations that provide step-by-step instruction on how best to perform and apply ultrasound in the ICU setting. An essential reference for both trainees and experienced clinicians, this revised edition keeps you up to date with rapidly evolving point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) techniques, protocols, and procedures used in daily critical care practice.- Integrates anatomy, physiology, and clinical decision-making across organ systems, with current coverage of ultrasound's applications for neurologic critical care; vascular problems; chest and echocardiography; hemodynamic monitoring; and abdominal and emergency uses, as well as assistance in a variety of specific procedures in critical care medicine- Provides clear, easy-to-follow guidance on lung ultrasound in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and mechanically ventilated patients, ultrasound protocols for acute respiratory failure and shock, hemodynamic assessment and fluid responsiveness, cardiac ultrasound in cardiac arrest and trauma, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) assessment, ultrasound-guided percutaneous tracheostomy, and much more- Contains ten new chapters, including Ultrasound Monitoring of Lung Disorders, Evaluating Diaphragmatic Function by Lung Sonography, Sonographic Monitoring in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), Ultrasound for Sepsis, The Future of Ultrasound in Critical Care, and more- Includes access to fifteen new video clips, including Lung Ultrasound in Trauma, Diaphragm Ultrasound for the Critically Ill, Echocardiographic Assessment Using Subcostal Window Only (EASy) Examination, and more- Employs a strong focus on real-world clinical application and bedside decision-making, including case studies and clinical pearls that reinforce learning and application both for novice and experienced operators- Shares the experience and knowledge of dozens of global experts in both ultrasound and critical care, and reflects current best practices, protocols, and technology- Reflects broader coverage of emergency ultrasound and specialized environments, including out-of-hospital and resource-limited settings such as war zones and space, as well as issues regarding CCU logistics, training, and education- Any additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
