Clinical Manual of Emergency Pediatrics, Fifth Edition, has been completely updated to reflect current management of the wide range of conditions encountered in a pediatric emergency department. However, as children with acute problems receive care in private offices, clinics, and urgent care centers, this book is equally relevant for pediatricians, emergency medicine physicians, and family practitioners.
• Clear, concise guidance is given for patient evaluation and follow-up
• Indications for admission are explicitly defined.
• Every chapter is organized in a standard format of Introduction, Clinical Presentation, Diagnosis, ED Management, Follow-up, Indications for Admission, and Bibliography, making it very easy for a reader to move from topic to topic and locate critical information rapidly.
• A dedicated Special Considerations chapter addresses difficult problems, such as the crying infant and the cross-cultural encounter.
New topics Include:
• Angioedema • Erythema annulare
