Approach to Pediatric Emergency

Approach to Pediatric Emergency explains the importance of choosing the correct action when a child is first admitted to an emergency department.

Beginning with general emergency scenarios, the following chapters are each dedicated to a different type of emergency, including respiratory, renal, endocrinial, neonatal and ophthalmological; as well as poisoning, trauma and infections. The final chapter considers medicolegal issues.

Presented in an 'at a glance' format, the book helps paediatricians understand the severity of each case, emergency resuscitation, diagnosis and treatment.
