Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"Intensivists or radiologists with an interest in critical care applications of ultrasound are the intended audience for this work, edited by one of the fathers of critical care ultrasound. ... This edition expands coverage of the abdomen and vascular system and increases the emphasis on the evaluation of deep venous thrombosis, pleural effusion, interstitial disease, and pneumothorax. ... Chapters are written in a conversational style. ... this remains an effective overview for intensivists." (David J. Dries, Doody's Review Service, December, 2010)
