Pocket Guide to POCUS: Point-of-Care Tips for Point-of-Care Ultrasound

This book is the must-have guide to point-of-care ultrasound. It fits in your white coat pocket and covers the basic principles needed for evidence-based practice without information overload. For those of us desirous of information overload there are plenty of links to outside resources. Pages are in a flexible binder and can be removed for use on the wards or rounding in an ICU. Plenty of self-explanatory images with succinct text. Soon every intern will be carrying this book.

This book is ideal for the growing group of POCUS users who need to have concise quality information, scanning protocols, pearls and pitfalls at their finger tips. The book is modular and the pages are leaflets in a 3-ring binder for easy removal or addition of pages/note just when you need them. Ideal for internal medicine, family medicine, medical students, and new adopters of POCUS into clinical practice.

This is a great guide for quick bedside reference. The images are well curated with images of positioning for probes and of images/pathology. The ultrasound images are well labeled. Each section is a few pages which provide an appropriate and succinct review. Seems more geared toward internal medicine rather than emergency medicine as there are no pelvic, ob or RUQ sections.
