Brain Point-of-Care Ultrasound

Brain Point-of-Care Ultrasound: Practical Guide and Protocols serves as an essential bedside manual for neurologists, neurosurgeons, and emergency physicians working with critically ill patients. This handbook provides a thorough, protocol-driven approach to real-time brain hemodynamics and parenchyma evaluation, allowing for customized clinical decisions at the point-of-care. The book guides practitioners through ultrasound setup, detailed anatomical understanding, and advanced diagnostic parameters, aiming to seamlessly incorporate brain ultrasound into routine Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) practices. Its structured format ensures clinicians have a dependable reference for comprehensive patient assessment in demanding clinical environments.

Beyond foundational principles, the book delves into specialized topics such as Doppler spectral wave analysis, nuances of angle correction, cerebral autoregulation, and non-invasive pressure assessments. Each chapter offers practical insights for integrating brain ultrasound across different medical disciplines, narrowing the gap between traditional pathology and modern critical care. By positioning brain ultrasound as a vital diagnostic tool, the guide empowers practitioners to make precise, targeted decisions and elevates the standard of neurological patient care.
