Ultrasound in the Intensive Care Unit explores the current state of
evidence supporting use of bedside ultrasound for procedural
guidance and for the critical care-focused assessment of a variety
of organ systems. This text covers standard practice areas, such as
ultrasound guidance for vascular access in the ICU, as well as
novel, less well-known applications such as the use of ultrasound
for assessment of diaphragm function in patients with respiratory
failure. As current ultrasound education is often dependent on
widely varying local expertise, this book serves as a standard
reference in what is at present a fragmented and challenging field
of study for busy clinicians. By providing a comprehensive overview
of the current state of critical care ultrasonography, with content
contributed by experts in the field, this text will serve as a
valuable resource that will allow education in critical care
ultrasound to keep pace with the rapid technological growth that
has driven this vital area of critical care medicine. Ultrasound in
the Intensive Care Unit is essential reading for pulmonologists,
practitioners in internal, hospitalist, and critical care medicine;
educators and instructors in critical care ultrasound; and medical
students, residents, and critical care trainees.
The history of modern Israel is a story of ambition, violence, and
survival. Return to Zion traces how a scattered and stateless
people reconstituted themselves in their traditional homeland, only
to face threats by those who, during the many years of the
dispersion, had come to regard the land as their home. This is a
story of the "ingathering of the exiles" from Europe to an outpost
on the fringes of the Ottoman Empire, of courage and perseverance,
and of reinvention and tragedy. Eric Gartman focuses on two main
themes of modern Israel: reconstitution and survival. Even as new
settlers built their state they faced constant challenges from
hostile neighbors and divided support from foreign governments, as
well as being attacked by larger armies no fewer than three times
during the first twenty-five years of Israel's history. Focusing on
a land torn by turmoil, Return to Zion is the story of Israel-the
fight for independence through the Israeli Independence War in
1948, the Six-Day War of 1967, and the near-collapse of the Israeli
Army during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Gartman examines the roles of
the leading figures of modern Israel-Theodor Herzl, Chaim Weizmann,
David Ben-Gurion, Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan, Yitzchak Rabin, and
Ariel Sharon-alongside popular perceptions of events as they
unfolded in the post-World War II decades. He presents declassified
CIA, White House, and U.S. State Department documents that detail
America's involvement in the 1967 and 1973 wars, as well as proof
that the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty was a case of mistaken
identity. Return to Zion pulls together the myriad threads of this
history from inside and out to create a seamless look into modern
Israel's truest self.
