Medical, Surgical and Psychiatric Emergencies : The ABCDE Approach 2E (Paperback)

Paperback. Following the success of the first edition, Medical, Surgical and Psychiatric Emergencies returns in a fully revised second edition, as a practical, case-based guide to the initial management of the acutely unwell patient.Designed for students and other early-career healthcare professionals involved in frontline care, the book centres on a structured ABCDE (Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Everything Else) approach. The emphasis is on hands-on practice in small groups, helping clinicians develop a systematic method that can be applied reliably when under pressure.Chapters are organised by speciality and built around common emergency presentations encountered in hospital wards and emergency departments. Each case is followed by viva-style questions to prompt discussion of underlying pathophysiology, differential diagnosis and management. The format supports both examination preparation and practical team-based learning.This edition also introduces a new section on psychiatric emergencies. In many acute settings, immediate specialist psychiatric input may not be available, and general hospital clinicians may be required to initiate appropriate management. This book provides a clear, structured framework for approaching acute behavioural disturbance and other urgent psychiatric presentations.Concise, practical and focused on real-world scenarios, this second edition provides a solid foundation for healthcare professionals involved in the management of acutely unwell patients.
