About this book

Echocardiography is still relatively underused in the management of critically ill and hemodynamically unstable patients. There is a definite trend for favoring echocardiography over invasive assessment in intensive care units, however, clear guidelines are lacking. The author's experience over the last few years reinforced the importance of a book covering this topic. The basis for the creation this book was the fruit of teaching sessions and ward rounds during which the interest and receptiveness for this topic were obvious.

Reviews

From the reviews: “This is a great little book. … It is 184 pages long and the chapters give a good and representative coverage of the title material. … this is a useful little book containing … amount of information which is probably best aimed at clinicians with basic skills in echo trying to move forward, or experienced scanners seeking a more clinical bias to balance their learning, eg sonographers.” (Craig Morris, Journal of Intensive Care Society, Vol. 11 (2), April, 2010)
