Acute Medicine A Practical Guide to the Management of Medical Emergencies

The Third Edition of this hugely popular book continues to provide a practical guide to acute medicine for the junior physician and casualty officers. It offers detailed guidance on what to do when faced with medical emergencies 'on take', on the ward, or in the A&E Department, and includes a step-by-step guide to the nine most important practical procedures. In this new edition, the authors have thoroughly revised all chapters in line with current evidence and guidelines, and have added new chapters on the critically ill patient, acute diarrhoea, abdominal pain, electrolyte imbalances and acid-base disorders. The layout has been improved to make key information even more accessible.Sprigings, David is the author of 'Acute Medicine A Practical Guide to the Management of Medical Emergencies', published 2001 under ISBN 9780632054558 and ISBN 0632054557.
