Product Description

Review
Having recently purchased the new Oxford Handbook of Accident and Emergency Medicine, I would like to say that it is an excellent update. As a Specialist Registrar ... I am involved in training all new A&E doctors and will recommend this book highly. Dr Reshad Khodabocus, St James's Hospital, Leeds The 1st edition (published 1999) has become the "Bible" of Emergency care for many practitioners working in this field - Doctors, Nurses, Paramedics etc... I used it throughout my Specialist Registrar training as both an "on the spot" diagnostic tool but also as a reference aid for my FRCS and FFAEM. There's a lot more in it than you think! The second edition has built on and consolidated all that was good in the 1st edition but added some new sections and expanded others. It includes up to date information and references... I would not only recommend but also INSIST that all practitioners... in emergency care read and used this handbook. It would also be useful to Doctors in almost all specialties including General Practice, General Surgery and General Medicine. Medical Defence Union

3.0 out of 5 stars A handy pocket-book for SHO's/junior residents starting out., 8 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Oxford Handbook of Accident and Emergency Medicine (Oxford Medical Publications) (Paperback)
This is a welcome addition to the Oxford Handbook series, which is so popular with medical students and trainee doctors throughout the English speaking world. As an overview or introduction to Accident & Emergency Medicine it is comprehensive in the topic areas it covers. It does not dwell on theoretical detail, but acts as a practical guide for students and junior doctors unsure of the initial assessment and management of common emergency problems. A criticism I would offer is that this book is lacking somewhat in detail in terms of the management of many conditions, offering the advice "refer to specialist" all to frequently. In a climate where emergency physicians are expanding their role, this may limit the use of this book in the near future. Overall, for the medical student or first time doctor in A&E, this is a very useful resource to have readily available.

3.0 out of 5 stars wait for the new edition, 16 Nov 2004
By jonhaff (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oxford Handbook of Accident and Emergency Medicine (Oxford Medical Publications) (Paperback)
I am generally a big fan of the Oxford Handbook series and its definitely appropriate to have one for A&E. However, this field is constantly changing and the current edition of the book is dangerously out of date and contains some important errors. For example, I just read a section on poisoning and it advises beta blocker administration for cocaine intoxication -- most definitely NOT a good idea and potentially a disastrous management! Our A&E consultant advised us not to trust it as it has so many errors, which I think says a lot. Luckily, there is a new edition out in Jan 2005 so if you are planning on getting this book I would certainly wait until then - hopefully the errors will be sorted and like its brothers and sisters in the series it will be an invaluable pocket guide.

2.0 out of 5 stars Oxford Handbook of Accident and Emergency Medicine, 6 Nov 2008
By Renal (Royal London) - See all my reviews
While this is a good textbook, as the oxford handbooks tend to be, it really needs to be read alongside the OHCM and OHCS (which kind of defeats the purpose of a single handbook) and duplicates a lot of their content.

Some sections are interesting, but fundamentally this wasn't as useful as it could have been.
