Bücher von Daniel A. Lichtenstein

This volume presents the latest on the use of whole-body ultrasound on the critically ill. It covers improvements, revised definitions, and updated algorithms, and it clearly presents findings on individual organs with particular emphasis on the lungs.

Careful attention is then devoted to protocols derived from the BLUE protocol - the FALLS protocol for diagnosis and management of acute circulatory failure, the Pink protocol for use in ARDS, and the SESAME protocol for use in cardiac arrest - and to the LUCI-FLR program, a means of answering clinical questions while reducing radiation exposure.

Written by an intensivist familiar with ultrasound, this book describes a new clinical tool: ultrasound for the intensive care and emergency physician. This volume is not only an exhaustive atlas dealing with the most variable aspects of the critically ill patient, but it is above all a guide, a permanent aid in the therapeutic decision.
