About this book

Covering both transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), this book fills the need of accessible information for the practitioner seeking a basic level of familiarity with TEE and TTE in the perioperative management of the surgical patient. This book is a practical guide on echocardiography written for non-cardiac anesthesiologists and critical care physicians who wish to become familiar with the use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) as well as a resource for anesthesiologists studying for the Basic PTE examination. Essential Echocardiology also features extensive figures and more than 100 echocardiography videos.

Reviews

“Provide a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of this important area of growth in our specialty. The authors highlight the need for perioperative physicians to acquire basic skills in echocardiography to monitor patients’ cardiac function, assess responsiveness to pharmacological or volume resuscitation interventions, and diagnose the causes of hemodynamic instability. This text provides an outstanding introduction for physicians in this area. … Essential Echocardiography is an enjoyable cover-to-cover read and should be recommended to any non-cardiac anesthesiologist or anesthesia trainee.” (Elizabeth Clarke Miller, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia, January, 2017)
