This book is a pocket-sized, practical introduction and prepared referral to focused ultrasound (USS) in the Emergency Department. USS is a safe, fast imaging method, however, it is just in the last few years that its function has actually emerged in the field of Emergency Medicine. In this context, minimal Emergency USS is used to address extremely particular questions, such as the existence or lack of AAA (abdominal aortic aneurysm), or of totally free fluid (such as blood) in the abdomen after injury. Unlike other imaging methods (eg CT scan) it is a quick strategy that can ‘pertain to the client’. The book discusses the signs for, and usage of, minimal USS. Notably it also describes its limitations. An useful guide to appropriate use of ultrasound in the emergency department. Composed by team of leading professionals in the UK and Australasia. A volume in the successful Made Easy series.
