About this book

This book offers readers a better understanding of how to perform echocardiography in their daily intensive care unit (ICU) work. With numerous practical examples highlighting the indices and hemodynamic monitoring profiles that physicians could encounter, it considers echocardiography not merely as a simple imaging technique, but as a practical diagnostic and hemodynamic monitoring tool. The booklet is richly illustrated with figures explaining how to perform echo, and includes numerous tables, simple equations and normal and abnormal values.

Echocardiography in ICU, a pocket guide written by the leading international experts in the field, is an excellent source of information and guidance for all residents and physicians working in ICU, emergency medicine, anesthesia and cardiology as well.


Reviews

“I recommend this book to all intensive care physicians. As echocardiography has gained popularity in the ICU and has become essential for bedside hemodynamic monitoring, this book should be placed in the ICU to guide the echocardiographic examination of critically ill patients.” (Won Ho Kim, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 132 (3), 2021)
