</p>Handbook of Critical Care and Emergency Ultrasound Review
I am an "older" ED physician for whom ultrasound usage in the ED is a valuable work in progress. I work as an attending physician at a busy NYC ED and I would classify myself as an "intermediate sonographer."This is an ideal guide for emergency and ICU ultrasound:
The Good:
* Easy to use and locate topics
* Easily accessible language making it easily digestible in a fast-moving environment.
* Layout is perfect and diagrams beautifully presented: quality diagrams and sonographic images make one want to use it.
* Language simple and presented by authors who really know their subject matter.
* Ideal pocket-size.
* Ideal for beginner, intermediate and advanced ultrasonographers, each of whom will draw enormous value from this handbook, as I do.
The Bad:
Nothing noticed.
This is a fabulous addition to the library of ED ultrasound books available, and, in my humble opinion, the best of those currently available. For anyone serious about developing their ED ultrasonographic skill-set, this book is the ideal guide for emergency and ICU ultrasound and is a "must have" for anyone serious about enhancing their US procedures. It is working wonders with mine!
Well done to the authors and thank you!
