Product Description

The fifth edition of this international best-selling emergency medicine handbook has been completely updated and expanded to include the latest evidence-based guidelines in both emergency and acute medicine. The text follows a standard, clear and well set-out approach designed to maximize the practical delivery of care at the bedside. New additions to this edition range from the 2005 CPR Guidelines, febrile neutropenia and acute renal failure to information on handling SARS, bird 'flu and chemical and biological threats, amongst many others. On-the-spot decision making with a constant stream of undifferentiated patients requires a special kind of doctor - one who is up to the challenge and prepared to act, not just think. This new edition will prove an indispensable resource full of succinct, invaluable and appropriate information for the intern, SHO or junior registrar, whether called upon to act in the relative quiet of the night or during the hectic challenge of a weekend afternoon. The same high standards of care are expected with no margin for error; let this book take you to the benchmark, and make you a source of invaluable knowledge for others.
From reviews of the previous edition:
"The language is clear, the advice straightforward, and the scope comprehensive ... an essential part of the 'shop floor' library." Hospital Medicine
"A reliable text ... of enormous help to junior doctors practising accident and emergency medicine for the first time" Postgraduate Medical Journal
" ... logical, methodical and provides a framework for the management of a wide spectrum of illnesses and injury. The conciseness, portability and affordability of this text make it an excellent 'registrar in book form'". Medical Journal of Australia
"This is one of the most popular, widely read small texts available ... an excellent text that gives acceptable, quick answers to patient diagnosis and management". Emergency Medicine

Nicholas P. Evans "nickevans" (s. coast) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Emergency Medicine: Emergency and Acute Medicine - Diagnosis and Management (A Hodder Arnold Publication) (Paperback)

.......For Cadogan and Browns latest Emergency Medicine offering.
I have been struggling in s. coast A+E, constantly getting hassled about patients breaching,and with no time to read up on my management plan and with few seniors about to ask for advice.
Thankfully, my life has been transformed recently since I got my hands on this book.... it gives excellent, diadactic, punchy information and advice without having to go searching.
It really is the prefect tool for those F1 and F2 doctors coming through, as well as Emergency nurses and Registrars alike.
Highly recommended

Doctor Nick (London) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Emergency Medicine: Emergency and Acute Medicine - Diagnosis and Management (A Hodder Arnold Publication) (Paperback)

The cover says it all. Black and white, simple and true. Very easy to read overview of all emergency medicine. This really is a vast improvement on previous editions and well worth a look. Just a bit bigger than my previous edition, but very up to date. Will be the standard text for most emergency trainees and medical students wanting a grasp of acute medical emergencies
