Emergencies in Clinical Medicine by Piers Page
This book is an easy-to-use guide to the management of common medical emergencies. Emergencies nearly always present first to the junior doctor, either as a result of direct observation on the ward, or a phone call from nursing staff when on call. The key to their management is timely recognition and intervention. This book gives the junior doctor and senior medical student the confidence to do this. The text covers emergencies from both a problem-based and disease-based approach, with the book being divided into two sections - presentations and diseases. Cross-referencing between these two sections enables quick reference under pressure, with clear, step-by-step instructions and advice on when and who to call for help.
..this informative text is written for junior doctors and medical students, but is an ideal companion for nursing students and nurses working in emergency departments...the quick reference sections in particular are useful for healthcare professionals who work under pressure, adn the instructions and advice they provide are clear and practical. Emergency Nurse [this book makes it] very easy to find exactly what you're looking for in an emergency...the red boxes are particularly useful in highlighting the immediate management required...it is a smart, well-written, well-presented book...it comes highly recommended.
