Description
This book serves as a comprehensive guide for integrating point-of-care ultrasound into clinical care. It includes detailed chapters on the use of ultrasound in cardiology, dermatology, obstetrics and gynecology, and pediatrics, as well as for the assessment of the abdomen, musculoskeletal system, eyes, and thorax. Over the last decade, the use of diagnostic, point-of-care ultrasound at the bedside has been widely adopted by healthcare professionals in the United States. This technology has spread into many new areas of clinical medicine and more non-radiologists are seeking training and an up-to-date resource on use of the ultrasound machine. This book provides guidance on how to best approach patients with particular problems, practical guidelines on how to operate the machine and choose probes, descriptions and illustrations that depict the patient’s position and structures that are scanned, and the anatomy and pathophysiology of each area. Practical Point-of-Care Medical Ultrasound is a valuable addition to the library of any resident, fellow, physician, or other healthcare provider who uses ultrasound in a clinical setting.
Reviews
“Dr. Thomas Schwartz has succeeded admirably in writing a psychopharmacology handbook based on advancing levels of knowledge and expertise. But this book does much more: it provides diagnostic screening questions, DSM-5 interviewing criteria, rating scales, and invaluable ‘background’ material on epidemiology, genetics, and neuroanatomy. Furthermore, Dr. Schwartz recognizes that ‘the core skills of psychotherapy are needed’ in psychopharmacology―a critical insight that penetrates to the core of psychiatry’s goals and values.”
