Emergency Medicine

The fifth edition of this international best-selling emergency medicine handbook has been completely updated and expanded to include the latest evidence-based guidelines in both emergency and acute medicine. The text follows a standard, clear and well set-out approach designed to maximize the practical delivery of care at the bedside. Many new conditions are included from the 2005 CPR Guidelines to information on handling SARS, bird 'flu and chemical and biological threats amongst many others. On-the-spot decision making with a constant stream of undifferentiated patients requires a special kind of doctor -- one who is up to the challenge and prepared to act, not just think. This new edition will prove an indispensable resource full of succinct, invaluable and appropriate information for the intern, SHO or junior registrar, whether called upon to act in the relative quiet of the night or during the hectic challenge of a weekend afternoon. The same high standards of care are expected with no margin for error; let this book take you to the benchmark, and make you a source of knowledge for others. From reviews of the previous edition: "The language is clear, the advice straightforward, and the scope comprehensive ! an essential part of the 'shop floor' library." Hospital Medicine "A reliable text ...of enormous help to junior doctors practising accident and emergency medicine for the first time" Postgraduate Medical Journal " ! logical, methodical and provides a framework for the management of a wide spectrum of illnesses and injury. The conciseness, portability and affordability of this text make it an excellent 'registrar in book form'". Medical Journal of Australia "This is one of the most popular, widely read small texts available ! an excellent text that gives acceptable, quick answers to patient diagnosis and management".
