The AFEM Handbook of Acute and Emergency Care guides the reader through the approach to the patient in a low resource setting (e.g. basic medications and interventions, with a goal to stabilisation and transfer), a moderately resourced setting (e.g. where an x-ray machine and oxygen are available), or a setting with full resources (e.g. with a CT scanner and NIPPV).

The AFEM Handbook of Acute and Emergency Care 2e provides a field reference for emergency care providers in Africa, which addresses the African regional disease burden and recommends diagnostic and management pathways. The text is designed to be used by all levels of providers for the care of acutely ill or injured patients, and covers the full scope of emergency and acute care. It addresses both out-of-hospital and in-hospital interventions, and provides diagnostic
and management strategies for the most common emergency care problems faced by providers in sub-Saharan Africa.

Uniquely, the text offers care providers management strategies based on available resources: it guides care providers through a rapid systematic and integrated approach to patient stabilisation and resuscitation, stratified to three resource levels: minimal, moderate and full resources.

The primary target market includes emergency medicine practitioners (medical doctors and emergency care technicians). In addition, it is aimed at MBChB students and National Diploma students taking modules in Emergency Medicine or Emergency care, and students enrolled in certificate courses in Emergency care at provincial colleges.

Professor Lee A. Wallis is Head of Emergency Medicine at the University of Cape Town and University of Stellenbosch, and President of the African Federation for Emergency Medicine. Dr Teri A. Reynolds is Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine, University of California, San Francisco; Emergency Medicine Residency Programme Director at Muhimbili National Hospital, Dar es Salaam; and Chair of the AFEM Scientific Committee.
