Review
"It presents a practical approach to the most common uses of emergency ultrasound. Each chapter, while reader friendly, is remarkably comprehensive in its scope. The consistency in the layout of each chapter and high quality sonographic representation helps retention." "This book is certainly unique in that it provides a clinically relevant approach to such a rapidly growing field. Each chapter's objective is met while not inundating the reader with unnecessary technical details. Although simply reading the book is not sufficient for expertise, the material provides a solid foundation in understanding the subject." "5 Stars!" (Doody's )
