Atlas of Chest Sonography


Book Description

Chest sonography is an established procedure in the stepwise imaging diagnosis of pulmonary and pleural disease. It is the method of choice to distinguish between solid and liquid lesions and allows the investigator to make an unequivocal diagnosis without exposing the patient to costly and stressful procedures. This book presents the state of the art in chest investigation by means of ultrasonography. A number of excellent illustrations and the compact text provide concise and easy-to-assimilate information about the diagnostic procedure. Basic elements such as indications, investigation techniques and image artifacts are detailed in separate chapters.




Atlas of Emergency Ultrasound


Book Description

There are already plenty of reference texts on how to perform a bedside ultrasound. Atlas of Emergency Ultrasound is different. It is a visually dynamic atlas, packed full of images of a broad spectrum of pathologic entities and emergency conditions. Over 300 detailed examples of positive ultrasound findings are provided, covering every organ system and showcasing the full range of pathology the clinician might encounter when using ultrasound. Each condition comprises several images with detailed captions and minimal text, enabling quick reference in a busy clinical setting. Both common and rare findings are included. A free companion website is also available (www.cambridge.org/features/fox/), featuring videos of cardiac, vascular and gastrointestinal ultrasound sequences and a range of ultrasound-guided procedures. Written by a leading emergency ultrasound physician and educator, and containing over 800 high-quality images, Atlas of Emergency Ultrasound is an invaluable resource for any clinician using bedside ultrasound.

Pediatric Emergency Critical Care and Ultrasound


Book Description

Emergency bedside ultrasound assessment is well established for adult patients, but has only recently been introduced into everyday clinical practice for the care of pediatric patients. Pediatric Emergency Critical Care and Ultrasound is a concise, practical text which explains the principles of ultrasound, its diagnostic application in all organ systems and its use as a procedural adjunct. Both well-established and innovative applications are described, assisting the practitioner in incorporating ultrasound into daily practice, facilitating patient care and decreasing radiation exposure. Case studies and abundant illustrations enable the reader to study the appropriate techniques in detail and learn from real examples from the pediatric emergency department and intensive care unit. Pediatric Emergency Critical Care and Ultrasound is the first comprehensive bedside ultrasonography resource focusing on pediatric patients and is essential reading not only for pediatric emergency medicine subspecialists but for all emergency physicians, intensivists/critical care physicians and pediatricians.




Atlas of Handheld Ultrasound


Book Description

This atlas comprehensively covers the use of basic ultrasound (US) scanning technologies to recognize both normal and pathologic states. It covers how to use US for soft tissue diagnosis, assessing cardiac function, pericardial effusion, tamponade, peripheral veins, gallbladder, bowel, kidneys, skull, sinuses, eye, pleura, scrotum and testes. Atlas of Handheld Ultrasound provides detailed clinically relevant examples of how US can be used to aid diagnosis across a wide range of medical disciplines. Chapters are formatted in a clear and easy-to-follow format, with a range of interactive material to aid the reader in developing a deep understanding of how to use and interpret US correctly. It therefore provides a critical resource on how to use the modality for both specialist and non-specialist practitioners.




Lung Ultrasound in the Critically Ill


Book Description

Written by a pioneer in critical care ultrasound, this book discusses the basic technique and “signatures” of lung ultrasound and explains its main clinical applications. The tools and clinical uses of the BLUE protocol, which allows diagnosis of most cases of acute respiratory failure, are first described in detail. Careful attention is then devoted to protocols derived from the BLUE protocol – the FALLS protocol for diagnosis and management of acute circulatory failure, the Pink protocol for use in ARDS, and the SESAME protocol for use in cardiac arrest – and to the LUCI-FLR program, a means of answering clinical questions while reducing radiation exposure. Finally, the book discusses all the possible settings in which lung ultrasound can be used, discipline by discipline and condition by condition. Lung Ultrasound in the Critically Ill comprehensively explains how ultrasound can become the stethoscope of modern medicine. It is a superb complement to the author’s previous book, Whole Body Ultrasonography in the Critically Ill.




Vascular Ultrasound of the Neck


Book Description

This atlas is a thorough, user-friendly guide to interpreting diagnostic ultrasound images of the vasculature and blood flow in the neck. Featuring 177 sonographic images from actual cases, the book demonstrates a broad range of clinical findings and explains the underlying pathophysiology.Each chapter begins with an overview of a particular type of finding and then presents sonographic images from cases, with detailed legends and comments on the diagnosis. Bulleted lists of "Pearls and Pitfalls" based on the authors' extensive experience follow the case examples. Each chapter ends with multiple-choice questions and answers to aid in study and board review.
