Accidents and Emergencies in Children (Hardcover, 2nd Revised edition)

This handbook covers the most common paediatric problems encountered in Accident and Emergency departments. The contents include cardiopulmonary resuscitation, major trauma, fractures and other orthopaedic problems, burns, scalds and poisoning. Child abuse and its recognition and management are described. Emphasis has been placed on the emergency management of serious illness and injury and on the management of common problems. In many cases, further management is described for those studying for the Accident and Emergency Fellowship examination. This edition includes a revised section on paediatric resuscitation which summarizes the latest guidelines in this area. The section on major trauma has been extended to follow the Advanced Paediatric Life Support guidelines, and the section on fractures is now in tabular format for the comparison of possible diagnoses.
