When and where to use it are discussed, as well as limitations of the technique in the acute surgical patient. Lee takes you through some common clinical scenarios to illustrate and reinforce when ultrasound might be helpful.
Mapped to ISCP learning outcomes, this is essential viewing for medical students, foundation doctors (Interns) and core trainees (junior residents) in surgery.
