    L' échographie générale en réanimation
    Whole body ultrasonography in the critically ill
    Lung Ultrasound in the Critically Ill
    General Ultrasound In the Critically Ill
    • Written by an intensivist familiar with ultrasound, this book describes a new clinical ultrasound for the intensive care and emergency physician. It specifically details findings of immediate clinical relevance throughout its pages. This volume is not only an exhaustive atlas dealing with the most variable aspects of the critically ill patient, but it is above all a guide, a permanent aid in the therapeutic decision.

      General Ultrasound In the Critically Ill
    • Written by a pioneer in critical care ultrasound, this book discusses the basic technique and “signatures” of lung ultrasound and explains its main clinical applications. The tools and clinical uses of the BLUE protocol, which allows diagnosis of most cases of acute respiratory failure, are first described in detail. Careful attention is then devoted to protocols derived from the BLUE protocol – the FALLS protocol for diagnosis and management of acute circulatory failure, the Pink protocol for use in ARDS, and the SESAME protocol for use in cardiac arrest – and to the LUCI-FLR program, a means of answering clinical questions while reducing radiation exposure. Finally, the book discusses all the possible settings in which lung ultrasound can be used, discipline by discipline and condition by condition. Lung Ultrasound in the Critically Ill comprehensively explains how ultrasound can become the stethoscope of modern medicine. It is a superb complement to the author’s previous book, Whole Body Ultrasonography in the Critically Ill .

      Lung Ultrasound in the Critically Ill
    • Over the past two decades, whole-body ultrasound has emerged as an essential tool in critical care, providing rapid assessments at the bedside that can be performed anytime and repeated as needed. This approach allows for immediate therapeutic management. The latest volume builds on the author’s previous works, reflecting current knowledge with updated definitions and algorithms. It presents findings on individual organs clearly, with a significant focus on lung assessment, an area previously deemed unsuitable for ultrasound. The text emphasizes the technique's practical therapeutic impact across various scenarios, including unexplained shock, hemodynamic instability, acute respiratory failure (via the BLUE protocol), and care for critically ill neonates. It also covers interventional ultrasound and lesser-known applications like mesenteric infarction, pneumoperitoneum, and intracranial hypertension, while addressing potential pitfalls. Whole-body ultrasound now plays a crucial role in all aspects of critical care, enabling physicians to swiftly identify therapeutically relevant signs. This guide serves as an invaluable resource for practitioners engaged in this advanced form of visual medicine.

      Whole body ultrasonography in the critically ill
    • Le lecteur trouvera, dans ce volume, tout ce qui concerne la pathologie spécifiquement réanimatoire. Une place particulière est faite à l'échographie interventionnelle, terrain d'application tout désigné en réanimation. L'échographie générale en réanimation, dans cette deuxième édition entièrement revue et enrichie, n'est pas seulement un atlas présentant les aspects les plus divers du patient critique, il propose aussi une aide permanente à la décision thérapeutique.
