More than 1,000 high-quality clinical images facilitate accurate visual diagnosis in pediatric emergencies
“…an
excellent addition for any emergency department that has the privilege
to care for children…it will definitely help emergency physicians
provide better care to children.” – Annals of Emergency Medicine (reviewing earlier edition)
Pediatric
patients can represent as much as 35% of all emergency department
visits. This atlas comes to the rescue of harried EM clinicians by
providing a quick-access resource packed with visual clues to injuries
and illnesses presenting in emergency situations in patients ranging
from infancy through adolescence.
Doctor Shah
has compiled an extraordinary collection of clinical photographs and
imaging studies, and combined them with practical, easily retrievable
text. This combination is designed to expedite diagnosis as well as
guide the clinician to the appropriate management of pediatric trauma
and disease. The book is organized by organ system and then by problem,
and includes numerous tables, figures, and radiographs. The layout
consists of 1-4 images per topic, with brief text detailing “need to
know” information for each clinical problem.
