Description
This comprehensive book addresses urgent paediatric presentations and even covers some routine medical disorders in children that do not represent the emergencies, but are presented with great frequency in emergency settings. In nine sections, the gamut of paediatric emergency medicine is tackled. The most important section focuses on signs, symptoms and diagnostic findings including the evaluation of severity, therapeutic options and prognosis. The book is intended for paediatricians, accident and emergency specialists, GP's and trauma specialists.
