Fully-updated edition of this award-winning textbook, arranged by presenting complaints with full-color images throughout. For students, residents, and emergency physicians.

An important new work developed to improve medication safety and direct patient care in the Emergency Department.

Emergency Medicine is not divided into specific areas of practice. Emergency room visitors come in all shapes and sizes, at any time of day or night, with a wide range of maladies. Emergency physicians need to become experts in diverse areas of medicine and to be able to make quick and informed decisions about patient care. A cornerstone of emergency medicine training is the constant drilling and re-drilling of simulated cases and clinical scenarios. This book offers a unique yet underutilized strategy for learning: a case-based approach from real patients and actual events. Each case provides the opportunity for learning essential clinical concepts. Focused exclusively on the needs of in-training emergency physicians and nurses, the book covers more than 100 common and unusual cases in emergency medicine. The procedures have been class-tested by the Stanford/Kaiser Emergency Medicine Residency Program.

This book aims to provide condensed and crystallised knowledge, providing the rationale for investigations and interventions. Emergency medicine is a specialty where time and knowledge are critical factors in deciding appropriate management which could otherwise result in loss of life or limb. The challenge often is to have lucid management plans, whilst standing at the bedside of the patient. In order to address this challenge, a manuscript is needed which aims to enhance the clinical skills of the emergency physician. The objective of this book is to compile a road map for practitioners of emergency medicine, which would guide them through algorithm-based pathways. This format is distinctive by nature for its concise presentation, which facilitates easy reading and early application. Written by global experts, this book aims to be a truly international representation of emergency physicians who have come together to deliver contemporary concepts in emergency patient care.

This book provides a systemic approach to the diagnosis and management of medical emergencies. Divided into 16 sections, each chapter covers a different system of the body. Poisoning, trauma, anaesthesia, and paediatric emergencies also have dedicated chapters. Each topic begins with ‘key points’ before guiding the reader step by step through clinical presentation, history taking, physical examination, diagnostic methods, medical decision-making, and treatment plans. Drug dosages are also clearly explained. Algorithms are provided to assist clinicians in reaching an accurate diagnosis and a selection of images and figures further enhance learning.

Medicine is an ever-growing specialty. With new research and trials being conducted frequently, it becomes difficult to remain updated on the subject by just reading the textbook. Moreover, the postgraduate examination also gives importance to recent advances in the subject. The medical boards NMC and NBEMS who run MD/DNB program in our country have a dedicated exam paper IV on Recent Advances in Emergency Medicine. Our book is meant to be a complete guide on this aspect, including almost all the current studies and trial results which have an impact on patient assessment, workup and management in the Emergency Department. The book beautifully introduces a topic with available medical literature and guides the reader gently into the advances in that field. In all, it is a must-buy for teachers and postgraduates of Emergency Medicine.

It is now more than ten years since the publication of the first edition of Textbook of Paediatric Emergency Medicine and interest in this specialty continues to grow at a local and international level. Paediatric emergency medicine can be a challenging and difficult area for doctors. Children cannot always communicate their problems verbally, while parents are anxious and the possibility of a missed diagnosis is ever present. Although the principles in managing paediatric patients are the same as adults there are significant differences in patterns of illness and response. In addition, the therapies available vary widely between adult and paediatric practice. Textbook of Paediatric Emergency Medicine provides clear, concise and comprehensive coverage of all the major topics that present within paediatric emergency medicine. It offers a consensus approach to diagnosis and treatment, drawing on the latest evidence available. Short chapters with key point boxes allow for the quick and easy retrieval of information, essential when time is short. This Third Edition captures the major changes in guidelines across the specialty in the assessment and management of paediatric patients, whilst refining established approaches to practice. The text reviews both new technologies and the better application of older techniques which have led to changes in practice. There are significant updates to the sections on resuscitation and trauma, the clinical applications of bedside ultrasound, analgesia and sedation. There is also a new focus on the teaching and research sections.
