Point-of-Care ULTRASOUND in the dog and cat. Ultrasound in anaesthesia, emergency and intensive care

This text applies the point-of-care ultrasound approach (PoCUS) and uses the understanding of the ultrasound sign within a dynamic context. It is characterized by a practical approach to clinical syndromes thanks to diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms based on the patients problem (dyspnoea, shock, congestion) and not on the pathology of the single organ. The authors guide the reader through a real training path that starts from the setting of reasoning to address hemodynamic problems, and then provides the method to correctly perform and interpret the ultrasound sign by associating it with a normal or pathological condition.
