Pediatric Emergencies
comprehensively covers the practical management of pediatric emergencies based on organ systems, with a strong emphasis on clinical relevance. Each chapter explores the background, classic clinical presentation, atypical clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, diagnostic confirmation, treatment, clinical algorithm, disposition, complications, and pitfalls of each topic. Clinical pearls included in each chapter can be used at the bedside, and case examples allow readers to compare and contrast pediatric complaints to adult presentations. More clinically focused than a traditional textbook, and more comprehensive than a typical clinical guide,
is an ideal resource for emergency providers of various backgrounds and training, including emergency physicians, emergency medicine residents, pediatric emergency medicine fellows, pediatricians, and other primary care providers who work in urgent care settings.
