Herbal remedies and dietary supplements are becoming increasingly
popular. In the United States, over $5 billion is spent on these
over-the-counter remedies every year. While most are benign and
pose very little harm to people who take them, there are a few
remedies and supplements that have adverse or side effects that
could cause problems. Herbal Remedies, Dietary Supplements, and
Their Impact on Emergency Care is oriented toward healthcare
providers whose patients may be using one or more remedies and
supplements. The information covers commonly used remedies and
supplements, including vitamins, providing information about their
actions, uses, common doses, adverse effects, drug interactions,
and key information needed while caring for the patient during an
emergency. For example, garlic, ginkgo, and others can prolong
bleeding, thus it is important to know that control of bleeding may
be more difficult in an injured patient. The intent of the book is
to provide a quick reference guide that can be carried in a pocket
or jump kit providing immediate information to emergency care
personnel. It is an essential guide for emergency department
physicians and nurses as well as emergency medical services (EMS)
paramedics and EMTs. Although it is oriented toward emergency care
providers, this guide is helpful for anyone considering using these
remedies and supplements. Information is provided in bullet format
for ease of locating critical information without having to read
through paragraphs of text.
