Contents:
Section 1: Ultrasonography and use of the Echo Machine -- Section 2: Standard Echocardiographic Examination -- Section 3: Essential Functional Echo-anatomy.- Section 4: Echoradiography in the Intensive care Unit and Operating Room: Basic and Advanced Applications -- Section 5: Ultrasonography in the Intensive Care Unit: Other Applications -- Appendix: Formulae and Normal Values. Normal Values and Useful Formulae in the Intensive Care Unit.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: Echocardiography has become an invaluable tool in intensive care medicine because of its ease of use and instantaneous provision of precise information on cardiovascular functional anatomy at the bedside. This book contains all the information that readers will require in order to perform echocardiography and lung ultrasound, and to interpret the findings correctly, permitting optimal guidance of the hemodynamic management of unstable patients. Furthermore, lung ultrasound is dealt with for both diagnosis and treatment of respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation.   After an introductory chapter on the essential physics of ultrasonography, standard echocardiographic examination via both the transthoracic and the transesophageal approach is described. In the third section, the functional anatomy of all normal and pathologic thoracic structures as observed on echocardiography is presented in detail. A wide range of basic and advanced applications of echocardiography in the emergency and intensive care setting are then described. A final supplementary section considers further applications of ultrasound in the intensive care unit, such as ultrasound-guided vein cannulation, Doppler renal evaluation, transcranial Doppler, and lung and pleural ultrasound.   This superbly illustrated book has been specifically designed to meet the needs of all intensivists, emergency physicians, and anesthesiologists who intend to use ultrasound extensively to guide optimal management of the critically ill.
