Overview

This new edition offers a practical, streamlined guide for clinicians learning to perform and interpret bedside ultrasound. Designed for use in fast‑paced clinical environments, it covers the core scans most commonly performed in the emergency department, intensive care unit, and other acute care settings. After a concise review of fundamental ultrasound principles, the book walks through image acquisition and interpretation for each major organ system. In a quick‑reference bulleted format, each chapter details indications, patient positioning, probe selection and placement, key windows and views, essential anatomy, common pathologies, and high‑yield pearls. The updated edition reflects the latest advances in point‑of‑care ultrasound and introduces new chapters on regional nerve blocks and transesophageal echocardiography. An extensive collection of images and videos reinforces anatomic landmarks and highlights critical diagnostic findings, helping readers build confidence in real‑time image interpretation. Clinical Ultrasound: A Pocket Manual is an accessible, portable resource for imaging professionals, emergency physicians, primary care clinicians, critical care providers, residents, medical students, and advanced practice providers seeking to integrate ultrasound into everyday practice.
