Description

Book Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive overview of common emergencies faced in clinical practice, with evidence-based, current guidelines for their management.

Divided into 16 sections, the text covers emergencies across a variety of medical specialties including cardiological, respiratory, neurological, gastrointestinal, ophthalmic, and more. Each section is sub-divided to cover various emergency scenarios within that specialty.

Each topic has been written and reviewed by leading experts in their respective fields. Illustrations and key points summaries further enhance learning.

Whilst an invaluable ready reckoner for every medical practitioner, this book will also be of interest to non-specialists for primary management of emergencies.
