Emergencies in Paediatrics and Neonatology

This essential handbook provides a practical, accessible guide to all emergency situations encountered in pediatrics and neonatology from the immediately life-threatening to the smaller but urgent problems that may arise. It is concise and didactic, and will complement the "Oxford Handbook of Pediatrics."

Severely unwell children are the most frightening emergency a clinician can face. This handbook aims to guide the clinician through what to do and when; in a format that can be read at the bedside. Resuscitation techniques are described in detail and comprehensive management plans are provided. "Emergencies in Paediatrics and Neonatology" is a symptom-based handbook which concisely covers a range of essential information, from the key facts to elicit in the history to the specific difficulties of children in an emergency situation - communication and pain relief. Symbols are used to indicate clinical severity ranging from life-threatening to minor, and the book includes detailed drug dosages for children and the most recent resuscitation guidelines.
