Emergency Medicine: Diagnosis and Management incorporates the
latest ideas and evidence base underpinning best practice emergency
medicine care. This book covers a wide variety of emergencies,
including general medical, critical care, infectious disease,
foreign travel, acid-base and electrolytes to surgical,
orthopaedic, paediatric, obstretrics and gynaecology, ophthalmic,
ENT and psychiatric, as well as toxicology, practical procedures
and administrative and legal issues. Presented in an easy-to-read
format, the book includes succinct bullet point text, synoptic
tables, charts and diagrams to find key information quickly, in a
new edition aimed as much for use at the bedside as it is for
studying. Every emergency topic is approached in the same
standardized format covering first the Diagnosis and then
Management. Diagnosis includes essential knowledge to elicit in the
history including background and epidemiology, characteristic
features on examination including vital signs and organ-specific
findings, and investigations such as bedside testing, laboratory
testing, and radiology. Management then covers general supportive
measures, specific treatment, and the disposal decision including
whether time-critical, to which specialty and conversely who may
safely go home. The text is supported by a wealth of additional
online material at www.lifeinthefastlane.com including
high-resolution clinical images, videos, case-based questions,
examination material and links to online references. This edition
is completely revised and contains up-to-date evidence on every
topic, including the latest 2015 CPR guidelines, sepsis guidelines,
major trauma management, HIV care and many other newly released
treatment protocols.
