Handbook of Emergency Room Protocols

Résumé du livre

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.
