This illustrated practical guide covers the many facets of small animal point of care ultrasound (POCUS) using clinical cases commonly seen in practice.
This illustrated practical guide covers the many facets of small animal point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) using clinical cases commonly seen in practice. It details specific point-of-care ultrasound techniques, views, interpretations, pitfalls and knowledge gaps, highlighting the utility of initial and serial POCUS for both diagnostic and patient management purposes. Divided into seven sections, the book covers ultrasound of the pleural space and lungs, heart, and abdomen, as well as the Caudal Vena Cava Collapsibility Index (CVC-CI), miscellaneous and advanced cases.
Authored by leading authorities in the field, this guide recognizes the strengths of POCUS in screening and monitoring while also highlighting the limitations of using it as a sole diagnostic tool. Focusing on commonly asked questions and applications, the authors take a binary question approach to veterinary POCUS, which has been shown to decrease errors in human POCUS.
Case videos to accompany Chapters 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 are available on the book?s Companion Website at https://routledgetextbooks.com/textbooks/9780367547257/. These can be accessed directly on a smartphone using the QR codes in the relevant chapters.
This full-colour handbook is the ideal reference for small animal and mixed practitioners, including general veterinary practitioners, emergency veterinarians, interns, residents and veterinary students.
