This book titled Essentials of Veterinary Point-of-Care Ultrasound. Pleural Space and Lung is designed to be a reference for both the new and experienced veter-inary point-of-care sonographer. It includes many key tips, tricks and any addi-tional information that we as nonradiologists or cardiologists have found helpful in assessing the pleural space and lung. It covers a step-by-step how-to approach to performing pleural space and lung ultrasound and uses a binary question approach to allow novices and experts alike to master and grow their skills.

Rele-vant sonographic anatomy of the pleural space and lung as well as general tech-niques are reviewed. Consideration of how patient positioning impacts localiza-tion of pathology such as fluid and air, and how to modify protocols to increase the chances of detecting pathology based on patient position are presented. The importance of creating PLUS profiles by mapping multiple regions of the lung and pleural space for the presence or absence of pathology, in conjunction with other POCUS, history, clinical and diagnostic findings is emphasized.

Finally, the book provides specific techniques, key criteria to assess, and image interpretation for each of the following binary questions regarding the pleural space and lung: “Is there pneumothorax?”, “Is there pleural effusion?”, “Are there increased B lines?” “Is there lung consolidation?”, “Is there pleural thickening?”, and “Are there pleu-ral irregularities?”. What each of these findings represent and how to differentiate them from other pathologies is discussed. Finally, limitations and pitfalls for each binary question are also covered. This book should be helpful for any veterinarian, vet student, intern, resident or even technician who is currently learning or prac-ticing veterinary point-of-care ultrasound.
