Description

This work is a problem-related guide emphasizing the communication of vital information from clinician to clinician. The presentation is practical and clinically direct, and aims to give clear directions for the protocol of choice in any situation. Case studies provide an opening to each chapter as they focus on specific conditions likely to be encountered. Margin notes are then used to highlight special considerations, clinical pitfalls and critical symptoms.
