      L'échocardiographie est devenue depuis quelques années l'outil indispensable d'évaluation hémodynamique des patients en état critique. Elle permet non seulement de comprendre le mécanisme d'un état de choc ou d'une détresse respiratoire, mais aussi d'en diagnostiquer la cause. Les réanimateurs et les anesthésistes doivent désormais s'approprier cette technique non invasive et se former au mieux afin de l'utiliser de façon optimale. Ce Manuel d'échocardiographie Doppler pour le patient en état critique, à transporter dans la poche de sa blouse, ne se veut en rien exhaustif, mais il a été conçu pour aider le réanimateur et l'anesthésiste lors de la réalisation de cet examen au lit du patient, en rappelant les différentes coupes, les indices à utiliser et les profils hémodynamiques rencontrés au quotidien. Accessible et très pratique, enrichi d'une iconographie tout en couleur, il constitue le complément indispensable de l'ouvrage Échocardiographie Doppler chez le patient en état critique et guidera incontestablement le spécialiste, qu'il soit débutant ou expert.
