Building on the strengths of its award-winning predecessor, this new
edition of An Introduction to Clinical Emergency Medicine is a must-have
resource for individuals training and practising in this challenging
specialty. Guided by the patient`s chief complaint, this text presents a
concise, methodical approach to patient evaluation, management and
problem solving in the Emergency Department. Unlike other textbooks,
which elaborate on known diagnoses, this extraordinary book approaches
clinical problems as clinicians approach patients - without full
knowledge of the final diagnosis. Fully revised and updated, the second
edition includes new chapters on sepsis, bleeding, burns, neonatal,
alcohol-related, and dental emergencies. Stunning full-color chapters
include clinical images (photographs, ECGs and radiologic studies),
detailed illustrations and practical tables. Written and edited by
experienced educators, researchers, and practitioners in Emergency
Medicine, this text is core reading for students and residents, and an
important resource for practising emergency physicians, faculty, and
other healthcare providers.
