Erasmus of Rotterdam said: “In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is
king.” Ultrasound is that one eye which not only levels our playing field with
the experts using blind techniques but elevates us far beyond their sightless
capabilities. Is it somehow cheating to visualize a needle approaching a
nerve, the location of which I had forgotten immediately after the gross anatomy
test? Maybe it is, but not to our patients. They benefit from precision and
ultrasound-created expertise at the bedside, not far away in a procedure room
or another facility. The ability to perform procedures not previously possible
or to perform old procedures with a new level of accuracy benefits patient and
clinician alike. I have seen many tired senior colleagues get a second wind
upon discovering ultrasound guidance for procedures.

This text is for those who are interested in improving their procedural
skills or expanding their procedure toolkit and may not be diagnostic ultrasound
gurus. Many clinicians just want to use ultrasound for procedure guidance
and are reluctant to attend days-long courses or read massive textbooks
which focus on diagnostic ultrasound use and contain occasional hidden procedural
gems. If you are interested in applying ultrasound to procedure guidance,
this book is for you and your patients. We both hope it improves your

practice, your patients’ experiences, and their access to expert procedure
delivery like it has for us. We sincerely hope this text will help increase
patient safety and contribute to universal adoption of ultrasound guidance for
procedures.
