This book is written for physicians who work within an emergency
department or urgent care setting to provide them with a treatment
plan for those patients who are deemed not to have an emergency
medical situation and can be safely treated as an outpatient.
Emergency physicians (EPs) see a wide variety of patients and
ostensibly for emergency reasons. However, many patients present to
the emergency department for primary care-related reasons due to
multiple factors or are diagnosed with potentially chronic problems
that require a primary care intervention. Examples include a new
diagnosis of hypertension (without hypertensive emergency) or
diabetes. Thus, it is prudent for the EP to learn about basic
primary care management of these conditions. Unfortunately, the
training of EPs does not include these conditions, and they are
left to guess appropriate treatment or to start a new medication
that may not be appropriate. This book aims to fill this gap by
educating the EP on basic primary care interventions for specific
conditions.
For important information you need to know, but can't remember,
turn to QUICK HITS IN EMERGENCY MEDICINE. This practical, short
compendium contains the key decision-rules, clinical values,
mnemonics, and dosages that you need at your finger tips in the ED.
It covers everything from acute coronary syndrome and ACLS, to
electrolyte equations and hyperkalemia, to ventilator settings by
disease to Wellen's syndrome. Information on each topic is limited
to a single page and presented in easily digested formats such as
tables, algorithms, bulleted lists, and clinical illustrations.
