Product Description

A pocket sized book containing the information needed immediately when confronted with a critically ill or injured neonate, baby or child. Contains, in a well presented format, all of the information relevant to clinical management within the first 1–2 hours after presentation. Is not dependent on high technology inputs and therefore most information within the pocket book is applicable anywhere in the world. There is also an emphasis, in addition to preventing mortality and morbidity, on the relief of suffering. There is thus a section on pain control. The book is laid out in a way that ensures easy access in an emergency. The sale of this book in rich countries will help support its distribution at low cost in poorly resourced countries.

From the Back Cover

Designed for carrying in the pocket, this invaluable little book provides instant information on management of infants and children in emergency situations. From recognition of the sick child to dealing with life threatening trauma, it covers all the major conditions likely to be encountered in the emergency department or at the site of an accident.

Contents include: life threatening paediatric and neonatal emergencies; specific system emergencies;:respiratory and cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological, endocrine and metabolic, infectious disease, environmental, tropical, trauma and surgical.

Especially suitable for those working in poor countries and war zones, the trauma section carries information on such problems as gunshot wounds and emergency treatment of fractures and amputation.

In addition, the basics of neonatal and paediatric life support are included, in line with the internationally adopted procedures of the Advanced Paediatric Life Support courses.

With this combination of authoritative information, Pocket Emergency Paediatric Care is ideal for use worldwide, and is intended to help in improving paediatric care.
