Ultrasound for the Generalist with Online Resource Reviews

'Extreme medicine is changing, aided significantly by the development of ultrasound technology, which can help clinical and logistical decision-making in pre hospital and remote settings, positively impacting the patient journey. The fantastic portability, battery longevity, and increasing functionality opens a doorway to medicine never before available. This book provides a substantial foundation of learning for primary care providers operating in low resource areas with applications highlighted across the gamut of physiological settings from high altitude medicine, tactical settings and on to polar and tropical medicine with numerous stops along the way! If you are looking for a skill set that offers a diagnostic adjunct to your clinical practice that also offers portability and flexibility in a developing field, then 'Ultrasound for the Generalist' should be your base camp resource.' Mark Hannaford, FRGS FRSA FEWM, Founder/CEO of World Extreme Medicine
'I have learned a lot as we rarely perform chest ultrasound in radiology anymore. This book would have been really helpful to me as a radiology registrar when I used to get called to scan patients on ITU.' Jonathon Benham, Consultant Radiologist, Specialist in Thoracic Imaging
'Why read this book? Because you want to be the best generalist you can be, capable of making secure diagnoses wherever you see your patients. Because you need to act quickly in acute care, safe in the knowledge that you have ruled in, or ruled out, significant conditions and have put your patient on the right track for definitive treatment. This book is for every generalist that has ever been frustrated by the limits of physical examination and has observed as colleagues from other specialties develop their use of imaging at the point of care. Ultrasound for the Generalist will guide you through POCUS training and skill refinement throughout your career.' Dan Lasserson, MA MD MRCGP FRCP Edin, Professor of Acute Ambulatory Care, Warwick Medical School, University of Warwick and Clinical Lead, Acute Hospital at Home and COVIDCare@Home, Ambulatory Assessment Unit, Dept of Geratology/AGM, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
'As a trainee in intensive care and anaesthetics, POCUS has been invaluable in my day to day work from dealing with acutely unwell patients, carrying our procedures and making critical decisions during peri- arrest situations. As an individual with already some POCUS experience this book enabled me to advance on my skills and knowledge further, grow in confidence and widen my application of POCUS. A brilliant resource for all trainee's no matter what specialty and no matter at what stage of your POCUS training. The cases and videos online really reinforce learning and bring the book to life. The cases are fantastic. Thank you for writing this!' Dr Ali Jaffrey, ACCS Anaesthetic Trainee, Royal Society Medicine Critical Care Trainee Representative
'This book is essential for all medical undergraduates as well as foundation doctors navigating their way within clinical medicine. It has been a key resource for me to achieve my Lung Ultrasound accreditation and to become very confident when using ultrasound in patients that are difficult to cannulate. It has enabled me to be ahead of the curve and provide prompt high quality care for patients. A must buy for all medical trainee's and students.' Dr Benjamin Jefferies, Foundation Year Doctor UK
'As a senior ED Clinician POCUS is an essential skill required for my day to day work. From carrying our procedures such as nerve blocks, to making diagnoses such as free fluid in the shocked patient to fractures and pneumothoraces that are missed on plain X-ray films. This book is a must for all undergraduates, training doctors and seniors. It takes you on a journey from basic to advanced and covers a wide range of subjects applicable for all specialties reinforced with cases and detailed images and videos. This is an essential resource for all clinicians.' Dr Asif Naveed, MBBS,BSc,MRCS,FRCEM, Vice president for Emergency Medicine Ultrasound Society UK, Consultant in Adult and Paediatric Emergency Medicine
