Main description:

A brand new series from Oxford University Press, the Oxford Clinical Imaging Guides are specifically designed to help doctors master imaging techniques. Each guide explains the principles and practice of using imaging in an easy-to-read, highly-illustrated, and authoritative manner.

Focused Intensive Care Ultrasound is a practical manual designed to help you use ultrasound to assess and treat critically ill patients. Extensively illustrated, the book comes with online access to over 70 videos and 60 self-assessment questions.

This is the first book comprehensively mapped to the syllabi of Focused Intensive Care Echocardiography (FICE), Core Ultrasound for Intensive Care (CUSIC), Resuscitation Council UK's Focused Echocardiography in Emergency Life support (FEEL), British Society of Echocardiography's Level 1 Accreditation, and Focused Acute Medical Ultrasound (FAMUS). It is also ideal for European Focused Cardiac Ultrasound (FoCUS) training. Providing a clear distinction between basic and advance skills, it
introduces relevant aspects of advanced echocardiography for more experienced learners.

With a focus on clinical issues, and supported by relevant physiological principles, this book teaches you exactly what you need to know to assimilate ultrasound into your everyday intensive care practice. Designed as an essential day-to-day reference and learning tool, this resource is ideal for trainees, consultants and critical care practitioners wishing to master ultrasound skills.
