Covering everything from airway management and ventilation, wound care, and cardiac procedures to resuscitation, diagnostic imaging, and sedation, Roberts and Hedges’ Clinical Procedures in Emergency Medicine and Acute Care, Eighth Edition, provides the practical, highly visual information you need in emergency medicine and acute care practice.
