This reference consists of state-of-the-art, authoritative chapters by international experts on the role of cardiac ultrasound in emergency clinical settings. Chapters include echocardiography in acute coronary syndromes, acute native and prosthetic valve disease, cardiac tamponade, acute diseases of the great vessels, cardiac-related embolism, cardiac arrest, chest trauma, cardiogenic shock, as well as intraoperative echocardiography and echocardiography in the emergency room.
The use of ultrasound has revolutionized the way in which many acute injuries and conditions are managed in emergency department and critical care areas in hospitals. Emergency departments nationwide are outfitted with ultrasound equipment, allowing acute conditions to be diagnosed within critical seconds. This book is a practical and concise introduction to bedside emergency ultrasound for all critical care physicians. It covers the full spectrum of conditions diagnosed via this modality, both for guiding invasive procedures as well as diagnosis in critical-care settings. It introduces the major applications for emergency ultrasound by using focused diagnostic questions and teaching the image-acquisition skills needed to answer these questions. Images of positive and negative findings for each application (FAST, ECHO, etc.) are presented, as well as scanning tips for improved image quality. Each section also contains a review of the literature supporting each application.

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is an imaging technique used during coronary angiography. This book provides a systematic introduction to coronary imaging with (IVUS). It is divided into two integrated and extensively cross-referenced parts, the Atlas and the Manual. The Manual describes the rationale, method, and interpretation of IVUS imaging for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. It also presents a range of both established and evolving clinical and research applications. The Atlas features non-illustrated IVUS images together with corresponding illustrated figures. The reference list and subject index are connected to the Atlas and the Manual, allowing for rapid and easy access to information. INV STAT: Normal
This is a very readable text covering the physics and clinical applications of peripheral vascular ultrasound. Excellent images and diagrams are used throughout to aid understanding and the overall presentation, by way of colour-coded chapter headings, makes this a very easy reference book to use. Product Description This book explores the basic scientific principles, theory, and techniques associated with peripheral vascular ultrasound and blood flow. It clearly explains how to interpret color images and Doppler spectra, as well as how to optimize scanner controls for the most effective results. Chapters include descriptions of vascular disorders, carotid duplex ultrasound, lower and upper limb arterial and venous assessment, ultrasound assessment of aneurysms, graft surveillance and pre-operative vein marking, and more. Clinical chapters also contain current criteria for grading disease. The latest technological advances, such as harmonic imaging and compound imaging, are integrated with an emphasis on safety. Practical, step-by-step guidance on scanning shows how to perform specific procedures. Discussions of ultrasound physics are directly tied to applications for scanning and assessing blood flow. High-quality line drawings and images show how to perform the scan and what practitioners can expect to see. Basic scientific principles of ultrasound instrumentation and blood flow are discussed. Limitations and pitfalls of techniques are presented.
Provides a step-by-step guide for those new to ultrasound as well as a source of reference for the more experienced ultrasonographer. This book details the use of ultrasound in all aspects of pregnancy and its complications and in many commonly encountered gynaecological situations. It is for students, midwives and tutors.
