Case-based Reviews in Pediatric Emergencies

This book is a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and management of paediatric emergencies.

Divided into fourteen sections, the text covers emergency scenarios in all major systems of the body, from the heart and lungs, to the endocrine and neurological systems, and much more.

Each section features several cases presented in a step by step approach guiding clinicians through signs and symptoms, investigation, diagnosis and treatment. Each case concludes with questions and answers to enhance learning.

Acute illnesses such as bronchiolitis, gastroenteritis, hypertension, seizures, adrenal crisis, and respiratory distress, are covered in detail.
