Infos

Emergency physicians assess and manage a wide variety of problems
from patients presenting with a diversity of severities, ranging
from mild to severe and life-threatening. They are expected to
maintain their competency and expertise in areas where there is
rapid knowledge change.

Evidence-based Emergency Medicine is the first book of
its kind in emergency medicine to tackle the problems practicing
physicians encounter in the emergency setting using an
evidence-based approach. It summarizes the published evidence
available for the diagnosis and treatment of common emergency
health care problems in adults. Each chapter contextualizes a topic
area using a clinical vignette and generates a series of key
clinically important diagnostic and treatment questions. By
completing detailed reviews of diagnostic and treatment research,
using evidence from systematic reviews, RCTs, and prospective
observational studies, the authors provide conclusions and
practical recommendations.

Focusing primarily on diagnosis in areas where evidence for
treatment is well accepted (e.g. DVTs), and treatment in other
diseases where diagnosis is not complex (e.g. asthma), this text is
written by leading emergency physicians at the forefront of
evidence-based medicine. Evidence-based Emergency Medicine
is ideal for emergency physicians and trainees, emergency
department staff, and family physicians specialising in the acute
care of medical and injured patients.

Rezensionen

"The forward to this large format, hard cover, 658 page excellent
book encapsulates why its topic is so important to the practice of
modern emergency medicine." (BMJ, 13 April 2011)



"Dr. Brian Rowe, his co-editors and contributors, have
masterfully designed a book to 'answer the direct,
give-me-the-bottom-line questions emergency physicians ask in the
middle of their shifts' ... .Each chapter is extremely
well referenced and the index seems complete and is user friendly
... .This will be my new goto text for evidenced-based answers to
specific clinical questions. It belongs in every emergency medicine
library, as well as on the shelf of those in charge of journal
clubs and evidence-based lecture series." (Annals of
Emergency Medicine, November 2009)

"This book alone takes on the difficult challenge of reviewing
the evidence based decisions that are still not ubiquitous in the
emergency departments of America." (Doody's, August
2009)

"The best available evidence in a clear and concise manner.
... Especially useful to medical and pharmacy residents because
of their background in the topics covered in this book ... .It is a
significant evidence-based contribution to the emergency medicine
literature." (The Annals of Pharmacotherapy, July 2009)
