Point of care ultrasound is a critical tool required for assessing all patients, providing rapid answers to clinical questions and facilitating high quality care for patients. This essential guide caters for all generalist clinicians beginning their ultrasound journey and extends to more advanced assessments for those with established ultrasound experience wishing to advance their knowledge and skills. It covers a wide range of ultrasound topics from echocardiography, thoracic and COVID-19 to emerging areas such as palliative care, hospital at home and remote and austere medicine. An extensive collection of colour images, videos and examples of clinical applications will inspire readers to acquire the skills of point of care ultrasound quickly, safely and systematically. The printed code on the inside of the cover provides access to an online version on Cambridge Core.

Reviews for Ultrasound for the Generalist with Online Resource: A Guide to Point of Care Imaging

'Extreme medicine is changing, aided significantly by the development of ultrasound technology, which can help clinical and logistical decision-making in pre hospital and remote settings, positively impacting the patient journey. The fantastic portability, battery longevity, and increasing functionality opens a doorway to medicine never before available. This book provides a substantial foundation of learning for primary care providers operating in low resource areas with applications highlighted across the gamut of physiological settings from high altitude medicine, tactical settings and on to polar and tropical medicine with numerous stops along the way! If you are looking for a skill set that offers a diagnostic adjunct to your clinical practice that also offers portability and flexibility in a developing field, then 'Ultrasound for the Generalist' should be your base camp resource.'
