This book provides 50 echocardiography cases that represent frequent clinical scenarios in intensive care, such as hypovolaemia, septic cardiomyopathy, right heart strain, valve pathologies and ischaemic heart disease. In all cases, echocardiography was used to establish or confirm the diagnosis and to adjust treatment. A short introduction explains how to perform echocardiography in critically ill patients and describes the main indications. Each case description comprises a written case report and relevant echocardiography findings on images and/or loops. The book will be an invaluable asset for intensive care doctors and anaesthetists who want to improve their knowledge in emergency and intensive care echocardiography.
