DESCRIZIONE

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.Table of Contents1 Introduction 12 How ultrasound works 53 Abdominal aorta 174 Focused assessment with sonography in trauma (FAST) 275 Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) 416 The painful hip 517 Central venous access 598 Soft-tissue foreign bodies 739 Draining pleural effusions and ascites 7910 Shock and cardiac arrest 8711 Renal tract 10312 Gallbladder 11513 Early pregnancy 12314 Getting trained and staying trained 13715 Setting up an emergency ultrasound service 14116 Conclusion 147
