Description and Table of Contents
Description
Written by both paediatricians and emergency physicians, Emergency Paediatrics covers a wide range of paediatric problems seen in emergency rooms and physicians' offices. The book brings together in an accessible format all of the information that is immediately required for care of acutely ill children. Initial sections are based on symptoms, such as apnea, coma, joint pain, cough. Each chapter has an extensive differential diagnosis list to help the clinician make a diagnosis from the chief complaint and physical examination. Subsequent sections cover trauma, ingestions and medical emergencies arranged in order of least to greatest emergency coverage necessary. These cover all the diagnostic entities and form a comprehensive source for the management of a vast majority of problems.
