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.
