Echography and Doppler of the Brain (only PDF)

The aim of this comprehensive guide is to educate and train practitioners in the safe and professional use of diagnostic ultrasound imaging for the visualization and interpretation of various cerebral conditions. This book is essential not only for neurointensive care but also for use in the operating room and within general cardiothoracic and neurocritical care settings. It is chiefly intended for anaesthetists and intensivists who possess a basic knowledge of ultrasound physics, but it is also invaluable for neurosurgeons and neurologists.

All chapters have been meticulously coordinated by the esteemed Editors, who bring extensive experience from hands-on courses on Echography and Doppler of the Brain. Prepared by international experts, the content of this book ranges from fundamental principles to advanced topics such as the estimation of intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion.

This book covers a wide array of topics including emergency department and prehospital brain ultrasound as part of Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS), as well as multiorgan evaluation for general intensive care, neurointensive care, and anesthesia. Special attention is given to unique populations such as pregnant patients and children, along with considerations for low- and middle-income countries (LMIC).

Each chapter is enriched with clinical scenarios that enhance the practical application of the material, making this guide not just informative but also user-friendly.

This innovative and unique guide equips readers to perform bedside and non-invasive assessments</strong
