Description

Written by Washington University residents, this small pocket book contains all the essential information that interns need from day 1 on the wards, including ACLS algorithms, useful formulas, patient notes, top 10 workups, common calls/complaints, and common consultative questions in all subspecialties. Content includes vital pointers on what not to miss, when to refer/call for help, triage, cross-covering, and working with difficult patients.

This edition has been thoroughly updated and several chapters have been expanded, particularly the critical care chapter. Other revisions include expanded coverage of anticoagulation and new guidelines on patient safety issues, DVT prophylaxis, and GI prophylaxis.
