Pediatric emergency medicine
Work detail
Endorsed by the American College of Emergency Physicians and written by a renowned team of pediatric emergency physicians, this well-illustrated practical reference delivers an unmatched review of pediatric emergency medicine. It spans the full scope of pediatric emergencies -- from trauma care to psychosocial emergencies -- in all the detail you need, yet still maintains a concise, find-it-now presentation. Section on cardinal presentations in the pediatric emergency department that distinguishes the clinical approach to neonates from that for infants and children, and accounts for the advent of modern immunization practices. Expanded content on the management of neonates in chapters which cover feeding problems, jaundice, and common neonatal presentations. Revised infectious disease section includes discussions of pivotal topics such as influenza, imported diseases, bioterrorism, and HIV. Enhanced endocrine/metabolic section with new chapters on rickets and inborn errors of metabolism.
