Point-of-Care Ultrasound for the Neonatal and Pediatric Intensivist: A Practical Guide on the Use of POCUS

This book, written by the world over renowned experts, is a comprehensive text covering all aspects and recommendations regarding the usage of POCUS for critically sick neonates and children. Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) for the Neonatal and Pediatric Intensivist is structured to address and expand upon recently published international evidence-based POCUS guidelines endorsed by the European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC).

The book is richly illustrated and features a robust choice of individual POCUS images and cases. The Electronic Supplementary Materials offer top quality and interesting video clips complementing reader learning, particularly for neonatology, pediatric critical care, and general pediatric providers. Chapter authors provide a practical, experience-based approach to clinical integration of POCUS applications and highlight relevant supportive literature in addition to necessary limitations to POCUS use in the management of critically sick children. The information within the book could also be intended to reinforce further clinical and educational research in the practice of pediatric POCUS.
