About this title

Synopsis

Consolidated to include only the most pertinent facts, this New Edition presents up-to-date knowledge on emergency medicine from the assessment of signs and symptoms through the process of clinical problem solving. Experts in the field provide both an on-site and clinical perspective, including information ranging from data gathering, differential diagnosis, hypothesis formulation and testing; to decision guidelines, principles of management, and documentation. Additional algorithms, decision rules and case studies aid users in diagnosis of both common and catastrophic diseases. Back in an all-new edition, Emergency Medicine 2nd Edition covers the most common disorders seen in the emergency department in a handy, outline format. It explains the responsibilities of the emergency physician along with the decisions that need to be made. The 2nd Edition is perfect for on-the-go consultation - soft cover, shorter, and more focused.
