This book fills an educational gap in the perioperative and critical care echocardiography landscape. It addresses essential perioperative and critical care echocardiography topics in an accessible manner for those who provide acute care and resuscitation in any environment, including the operating room, intensive care unit, and the emergency department. Building off the success of its predecessor edition, this book includes several new chapters dedicated to the education and implementation of transthoracic echocardiography and point-of-care ultrasonography. Chapters feature board review-style questions and answers to assist readership with board exam preparation. This book also includes the most up-to-date echocardiography content and practice guidelines. Essential Echocardiography, 2nd edition, is expertly written for the practitioner with limited knowledge of echocardiography preparing for either the Examination of Special Competence in Basic Perioperative TEE (Basic PTEeXAM) or the Examination of Special Competence in Critical Care Echocardiography (CCEeXAM).
