Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is defined as a goal-directed, bedside
ultrasound examination performed by a healthcare provider to answer a specific
diagnostic question or to guide the performance of an invasive procedure.
The field of POCUS is vast and the scope is infinite, so much so that it
is difficult to cover all of them in a single volume. What we wanted was to
present a clear and concise description of the most common day-to-day uses
of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in a pocket-sized manual for the residents
and trainees of the multifaceted disciplines of anaesthesia, intensive
care and emergency medicine. This book is more focused on the practical
applications than theoretical discussions. Although ultrasound-guided
regional anaesthesia (USRA) has been included in some of the POCUS textbooks,
we have not included it in this book as we believe that USRA is a
larger topic and deserves its own textbook. There are many indeed, including
our primer Blockmate—A Practical Guide to Ultrasound Guided Regional
Anaesthesia by Springer Nature.
Currently, there is a shortage of textbooks in the field, and few cover all the
necessary areas that are needed for the learners in the aforementioned disciplines.
Each chapter in this book has been written by authors who are active
practitioners of POCUS in their respective fields, and therefore tackles the practical
issues comprehensively and they also host training sessions and workshops
teaching these principles. The chapters contain multiple choice questions
for the learners to hone their knowledge and prepare for the examinations.
