About this title

Synopsis

A handbook discussing methods for the diagnosis and treatment of routine and emergency problems. Written by experts in the field, this edition provides a completely revised "how-to" section on diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Laboratory testing procedures and interpretation of their results are discussed. Comprehensive yet concise, this book is a complete, hands-on reference. It includes discussions on shock and cardiovascular, genito-urinary and soft tissue emergencies, and provides a revised section on physical examination and differential diagnosis of major body systems. Features include an index for quick referral to a wide range of emergency problems, from acute peritonitis to pulmonary edema, and new charts, graphs and tables to summarize information on nutrition, common neoplastic diseases, and drug dosages. Also included is a revised section on practical fluid therapy.
