Managing the Critically Ill Child: A Guide for Anaesthetists and Emergency Physicians

Editat de Richard Skone, Fiona Reynolds, Steven Cray, Oliver Bagshaw, Kathleen Berry
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 mar 2013
The management of critically ill or injured children has become increasingly specialised; nevertheless, the first point of contact for many sick children remains their nearest hospital. Here, the initial management will usually involve emergency department doctors, anaesthetists and paediatricians. Managing the Critically Ill Child is written by anaesthetists and emergency department physicians who currently have a significant paediatric practice. It provides a straightforward guide for non-paediatricians encountering acutely unwell or injured children. This book helps readers apply their knowledge from adult practice to children, and avoid pitfalls where the approaches in paediatrics differ. Written in a practical, concise format, Managing the Critically Ill Child guides physicians beyond the initial emergency algorithms and is essential reading for physicians and trainees in emergency medicine, anaesthesia and intensive care who may be asked to look after a child.

Recenzii

'Registrars who are involved with initial care of paediatric patients in an emergency room should seriously contemplate making an investment in this guide. Furthermore, every anaesthesia department ought to get a library copy for younger specialist colleagues or for older specialists who only infrequently handle critically ill children.' British Journal of Anaesthesia
'… the critical pediatric patient is one that can cause uncertainty and lead to underperforming from both physicians and their staff. That fact alone is one that makes this text relevant and a great reference for the novice to the seasoned provider participating in the acute care of ill or injured children.' Academic Emergency Medicine
