It features detailed descriptions of how to perform a POCUS examination plus practical information on using POCUS in the assessment of shock, trauma and cardiac arrest.

Point-of-care ultrasound has become a vital part of patient assessment in critical care units across the world. Its diagnostic sensitivity and specificity allow clinicians to accurately examine all major organ systems within a matter of minutes.

This book provides readers with a comprehensive, accurate and up-to-date practical guide to the use of POCUS in critical care, and features:

detailed descriptions of how to perform a multi-system POCUS examination and its advantages over traditional techniques
practical details of how to use POCUS in the assessment of shock, trauma and cardiac arrest
contributions from leading POCUS specialists
accreditation pathways
hundreds of images

The book is accompanied by an additional image and video clip library which will help readers better understand ultrasound and incorporate it into their daily practice.

Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Critical Care is an essential handbook for clinicians working in critical care and anaesthesia. This book is also useful for those working in emergency medicine, internal medicine, surgery, and pre-hospital medicine. With POCUS likely to become a core competency in intensive care medicine over the coming years, this book is the perfect handbook for trainees.
