Oxford Textbook of Advanced Critical Care Echocardiography

Description:

Advanced critical care echocardiography brings many benefits to critical care medicine. For those wishing to practice
echo at a more advance level, it is necessary to master the theoretical aspects. The Oxford Textbook of Advanced
Critical Care Echocardiography provides a physiological and evidence-based reference guide to the principles and
techniques of advanced echocardiography. Both transoesophageal and transthoracic echocardiography are addressed and
over 300 videos, 470 figures and, 140 mcqs are included making this an ideal adjunct for courses for intensivists.

The foundations of advanced echocardiography are outlined before specific assessment methods of critical care echo are
provided. In reality, most critically ill patients do not suffer only one clinical problem so a section on integrated
techniques explains how to answer both common and unexpected critical care questions. Finally the re use of
echocardiography in critical care is explored. Important reference values for clinical use can be accessed easily in
the appendices.
