Emergency Medicine Lecture Notes provides all the
necessary information, within one short volume, for a sound
introduction to this core specialty area.

Presented in a user-friendly format, combining readability with
flowcharts and high-quality illustrations, this fourth edition has
been thoroughly revised to reflect recent advances in the field of
emergency medicine. For this new edition, Emergency Medicine
Lecture Notes features:

* Illustrations and flow charts in a two colour
presentation throughout

* More detail on imaging, diagnosis and management of a wide
range of acute conditions

emergency medicine

Not only is this book a great starting point to support initial
teaching on the topic, but it is easy to dip in and out of for
reference or revision at the end of a module, rotation or final
exams. Whether you need to develop or refresh your knowledge
of emergency medicine, Emergency Medicine Lecture Notes
presents 'need to know' information for all those involved in
treating those in an emergency setting.
