Medicine
Acute Medicine offers an accessible and concise guide to the practical management
of all acute medical problems likely to be encountered in the emergency
department, ambulatory care centre, acute medical unit or on the wards.
Reflecting the maturation of acute medicine as a separate specialty, the book is
divided into common presentations, specific problems and procedures. New to
the fifth edition is a chapter on bed-side ultrasonography; throughout, emphasis
is placed on patient safety, and the use of flow diagrams, tables and figures
ensures that key information is quickly accessible.
Thoroughly revised by experts in the subject, and updated to reflect current
approaches to diagnosis and management, Acute Medicine is an excellent
companion for the trainee as well as an aide-mémoire for the more experienced
physician.
