Description: The management
of acute medical emergencies is the most demanding and stressful aspect of
medical training. Most textbooks of medicine can only go into general detail
about the management of medical emergencies, and it is difficult for the
practising doctor to keep up-to-date with the latestguidelines while doing a
busy clinical job.
The Oxford
Handbook of Acute Medicine is an up-to-date, practical and comprehensive guide
to the management of the acutely ill patient. The book relates pathophysiology
to clinical features to help the reader make the diagnosis quickly. It
identifies priorities for treatment and leads the reader,step-by-step, through
the management of the patient while awaiting specialist help.
Wherever
possible, published guidelines have been incorporated to ensure that the book
reflects current, recommended management of medical emergencies, with
evidence-based treatments. Details of specialisttreatments are included to
inform readers about the patient's likely ongoing care.
