Review
"This book on pediatric emergency medicine is geared toward helping
physicians manage their patients in real time. Each chapter begins by
outlining key points, then proceeds to an introduction of the topic,
basic approach and diagnosis, and a discussion of management issues. The
chapters are liberally complemented by pictures, charts, and tables in
order to help guide diagnosis and management. It is written for all
healthcare professionals taking care of pediatric patients in an
emergency care setting. The comprehensive review is a good tool to have
as a reference for both residents and attending in an emergency
department or urgent care setting." - Doody's 4 Stars "This
textbook is an excellent resource to add to any emergency department
setting. It is reader friendly, serving both as a quick reference and as
a substantive educational resource." - JAMA, February 2009 "This
textbook is a refreshing update to the existing pediatric emergency
medicine literature. With over 200 contributors, the editors of this
text have provided a comprehensive review of problems facing pediatric
emergency and urgent care providers. Perhaps the book's greatest
strength is its color graphics which elevate this text to a level above
similar publications. I found this text to be extremely well organized
and inclusive of all problems relevant to emergency pediatric care. This
text will be a great addition to any ED or urgent care clinic library."
