Download or read book Pocket Guide to POCUS Point of Care Tips for Point of Care Ultrasound eBook written by Cameron Baston and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique pocket guide to the use of ultrasound at the point of care Lately, there has been an enormous amount of interest in the use of ultrasound for both procedural and diagnostic guidance at the point of care. Although this type of instruction can be found in some textbooks, they are heavy, dense, and written for the classroom, not real-world clinical situations. Pocket Guide to POCUS is the portable, quick-hit alternative. Pocket Guide to POCUS provides trainees with the tips and reminders they may need at the point of care. Things such as what images to acquire, and how to get them, or a quick glance at pathology in comparison to a normal image. For learners at all levels, this pocket guide will hopefully reduce their fear of scanning, while preventing some of the more common pitfalls the authors have observed over their more than 50 cumulative years’ experience. Each chapter of the book is divided into four sections: •Key Images•Acquisition Tips•Interpretation and Pitfalls•Examples of Pathology This information is conveniently located on cards that can be removed from the book and brought with you to the bedside. You can take notes on the cards, check off the scans that you’ve done, and of course, refer to them in order to provide your patients with the best care possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of ultrasound in emergency medicine has proved invaluable in answering very specific, time-critical questions, such as the presence of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, or of blood in the abdomen after trauma. Unlike other imaging modalities (e.g. CT scan) it is a rapid technique that can be brought to the patient with ease. This book, Emergency Ultrasound Made Easy, is accessible and easy to use in an emergency. It is aimed mainly at specialists and trainees in emergency medicine, surgery and intensive care; but its broad scope (e.g. rapid diagnosis of DVT) makes it an invaluable addition to the library of any doctor with an interest in ultrasound, whether in primary care or the hospital setting. - A pocket-sized and practical guide to the appropriate use of ultrasound in the emergency department. - Designed to be used in an urgent situation (e.g. a shocked trauma patient). - Written by team of international leading experts. This Second Edition has been comprehensively revised and updated to reflect the major advances in the practice of bedside ultrasound, and reflects the pioneering efforts of individual clinicians and the high-quality portable machines now available. This edition still firmly adheres to the principles of only using ultrasound where it adds value and only asking simple questions that may be readily addressed using ultrasound.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past few decades, point of care ultrasound (POCUS) has become standard in most emergency rooms and trauma bays. The use of POCUS has been shown to reduce mortality and morbidity while improving triage in critically ill patients. POCUS has also seen an increased use in hospitals as well. Anesthesiologists are using POCUS for line placement, regional blocks and now for endotracheal tube placement. In the ICU, POCUS is being used for most invasive procedures and in the diagnostic work up of patients. In the operating room, surgeons are using ultrasound to guide them during surgical procedures. Nursing staff have also incorporated ultrasound into their physical assessment of patients. POCUS allows visualization of internal structures and identification of pathology in real time with no deleterious effects for the patient. Recently, numerous medical schools including Harvard have developed dedicated curriculum for training medical students solely in the use of POCUS for physical exams. While this revolutionary training has not become the norm, the early data suggests that medical students trained in POCUS are better clinicians than their conventional counterparts. Will POCUS replace the stethoscope in the doctors handbag? The early data says yes. Until recently, the cost and training required to use POCUS has inhibited its expansion into the field. The cost for handheld units has decreased significantly in recent years and smartphones allow everyone the ability to carry a computer at all times. While training remains a hurdle, advances in technology and the overwhelming benefit it provides seems to have overcome this issue. Over the next decade, the editor predicts POCUS will become ubiquitous in all hospital areas and will see exponential growth in the prehospital setting. Currently, ultrasound guidance is standard for line placement and is increasingly being used for other bedside procedures. Furthermore, early trauma, sepsis, stroke and cardiac interventions have shown dramatic reduction in mortality and morbidity for all patients. Ultrasound imaging in the field allows for early triage, better use of limited resources, and better patient outcomes. These results will be the driver for POCUS use in the prehospital setting. This book is a hands-on field manual on the basic techniques of POCUS and the technical details that are required to incorporate POCUS for established first responders. The book also reviews the anatomy and physiology of many emergency situations while highlighting the role of POCUS in the treatment of the emergent patients. The authors include world experts in POCUS and have extensive experience in the development and use of POCUS in the field. In many situations, the authors provide tidbits from years of experience that may assist first responders in their job. Finally, the authors highlight many of the new techniques and technologies that continue to evolve that will change how POCUS is used in the future. We strongly recommend this book for all first responders and any person who is involved in patients in the prehospital setting or the emergency room. It is an excellent primer for anyone interested in learning how to perform ultrasounds or wanting to improve the outcomes for their patients.
