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!
Great book that targets both EM and CC physicians working in busy ED. Algorithm chapters are a nice addition. Compact and easy to carry around. Great addition to the ultrasound community. Suggestion of iPad app with future editions is a great idea. Compliments to authors.
This is an excellent handbook that we use all the time in our high-volume ER.One enhancement we would suggest is an Ipad App with a search function for the next edition.Congrats to the authors for sharing your valuable knowledge with the rest of us!Thanks.
Pros:Excellent handbook, clear and concise. Helps me enormously. And it fits easily in my pocket.Cons:None noticed.Would recommend this to anyone, from medical students, residents to senior faculty attendings that use ultrasound in their daily practice.
Nice, easy language; nothing more as needed for first time in ultrasonography, some words of basics, well defined goals, without any waste of my time, thank you, well done!
For me only the nerve block sections were useful. The rest is very inadequate, summary with small prints that my eyes can't see. This is only a pocket book.
