Descrizione
For the first time, also in veterinary medicine, a text that applies the Point-of-Care
ultrasound approach (PoCUS) and which uses the understanding of the ultrasound
sign within a dynamic context, that of the most common clinical syndromes in
emergency and intensive care, is available. The volume is characterized by a
practical approach to clinical syndromes thanks to diagnostic and therapeutic
algorithms based on the patient's problem (dyspnoea, shock, congestion) and not
on the pathology of the single organ.
The authors guide the reader through a real
training path that starts from the setting of reasoning to address hemodynamic
problems, and then provides the method to correctly perform and interpret the
ultrasound sign by associating it with a normal or pathological condition.
Ultrasounds for the evaluation of cardiac function, pleuro-pulmonary and
abdominal structures are routine in human medicine but represent an important
frontier for the veterinarian who wants to face the new professional challenges in
the care of their patients.
The rich iconography of the volume is completed by 75
videos accessible with QR-Codes, showing the techniques for acquiring ultrasound
images and the relative movements of the probe.
