Preface
This book is designed as a useful pocket guide to echocardiography for the evaluation of hemodynamic failure. The authors consider critical care echocardiography to be the most important diagnostic and monitoring tool available to the frontline intensivist who deals with hemodynamic failure on a regular basis. Echocardiography allows the intensivist unparalleled capability to make immediate diagnoses, to direct initial and ongoing therapy, to measure key hemodynamic variables, and to serially monitor the hemodynamic function of the patient. The text represents a cooperative effort between colleagues who have worked together on international guidelines on echocardiography, at conferences, at courses, and on research projects. Their combined expertise offers a practical and accessible guide for the frontline intensivist who uses echocardiography to guide diagnosis and management of the critically ill patient. The content emphasizes a pragmatic approach to critical care echocardiography with focused text that is accompanied by immediately applicable tables, figures, and algorithms. The electronic version of the book includes numerous cases and MCQ to challenge and educate the reader. We hope that this book will help our critical care colleagues to integrate critical care echocardiography into their daily practice to better manage their patients with hemodyna
