Written by emergency paediatricians, this book focuses on all aspects of paediatric emergency medicine, and discusses current topics such as EMS, trauma, paediatric sexual abuse, HIV infections, environmental and toxicology emergencies, the grieving family and brain death. The special features of the book include: organization of material by organ systems and special topics for fast retrieval; listing of algorithms for crisis situations on the inside front and back cover; each chapter is an independent monograph - the reader can look at a single chapter to find extensive discussions on each area, from pathophysiology and anatomy to diagnostic and clinical evaluation to therapeutic intervention; emphasis is placed on setting priorities for caring for the critically ill and injured child; most chapters have special tables featuring "Therapy at a Glance", "Differential Diagnosis", "Admission Criteria and Discharge Instructions"; a contemporary chapter on HIV infections brings the reader up-to-date on the latest developments; and coverage also includes thorough discussions on orthopaedic and neurological emergencies, as well as psychosocial issues such as drug abuse and organ donation.
