Trauma is the most common cause of death in children over the age of 12 months. To improve the likelihood of survival, it is vital to make the right decisions quickly. By providing comprehensive and practical guidelines for diagnosis and protocols for management, this new edition of Pediatric Emergencies will enable you to reach a quick and accurate diagnosis of all emergencies you are likely to encounter in daily A&E practice. Clear guidelines are also given on the management of all emergencies.
Introductory chapters on pre-hospital care and the child and the A&E Department are followed by detailed chapters on the management of cardiac arrest, medical emergencies in each organ system, pediatric trauma and surgical problems. A glossary of X-rays to assist in diagnosis of fractures is also included.
