Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Dogs and Cats

The book provides a practical framework for veterinarians to manage clinical emergencies such as shock, congestion, and dyspnea through diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms. It guides the reader through a training path for hemodynamic reasoning and the correct acquisition and interpretation of ultrasound images for cardiac, pleuro-pulmonary, and abdominal structures. The text is supported by a rich collection of iconography and 75 instructional videos accessible via QR codes that demonstrate probe movement and imaging techniques.

The volume covers: Hemodynamic reasoning and problem-based algorithms (dyspnea, shock, congestion); Ultrasound evaluation of cardiac function; Pleuro-pulmonary ultrasound; Abdominal structure assessment in emergency contexts; and 75 video-guided techniques for probe acquisition.
