EGLS BOOK and eBOOK
This book describes how and why an ultrasound assessment, called the EGLS algorithm, can be an essential tool in the management of time-sensitive morbid conditions.
Section 1 (Physics and Instrumentation) of this book covers basic concepts such as the physics of ultrasound and the use of sonographic equipment.
Section 2 (Image Acquisition and Interpretation) provides essential information on image acquisition and interpretation in the context of hemodynamic instability using a systematic, step-by-step approach.
Section 3 (Putting It All Together) combines pulmonary, cardiac, and IVC ultrasound with the “sonographic physiology 101” of shock. This section describes how ultrasound can help determine a patient’s physiology and assess fluid responsiveness. The book concludes with a collection of common clinical scenarios to summarize how shock can be efficiently managed using the EGLS algorithm.
