Paediatric EmergenciesA Practical Guide to Acute Paediatrics\nAuthor(s): Thomas Lissauer\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Springer, Netherlands\nImprint: Springer\nISBN-13: 9789400973305, 978-9400973305\nSynopsis\nThe aim of this book is to provide a practical guide to help junior doctors to manage the important acute paediatric problems they are likely to encounter. The emphasis has been placed on the diagnostic problems and management when the child first presents. The approach taken is largely pragmatic, in contrast with the more theoretical approach of undergraduate teaching. As many doctors in general paediatrics are also required to perform neonatal resuscitation, a chapter on this topic has been included, but no attempt has been made to cover the specialized field of neonatal intensive care. Several of the chapters have been published in a series of articles in Hospital Update. They have been thoroughly revised and many new chapters added. It would have been impossible for me to.
