Extract
Emergency physicians care for patients with any condition that may be encountered in an emergency department. This requires that they know about a vast number of emergencies, some common and many rare. Physicians who have trained in any of the subspecialties—cardiology, neurology, obstetrics and gynecology, and many others—have narrowed their fields of study, allowing their patients to benefit accordingly. The Oxford University Press Emergencies series has combined the very best of these two knowledge bases, and the result is the unique product you are now holding. Each handbook is authored by an emergency physician and a subspecialist, allowing the reader instant access to years of expertise in a rapid access, patient-centered format. Together with evidence-based recommendations, you will have access to their tricks of the trade as well as the combined expertise and approaches of a subspecialist and an emergency physician.
Patients in the emergency department often have quite different needs and require different testing from those with a similar emergency who are in-patients. These stem from different priorities; in the emergency department, the focus is on quickly diagnosing an undifferentiated condition. An emergency occurring to an in-patient may also need to be newly diagnosed, but usually the information available is more complete and the emphasis can be on a more focused and in-depth evaluation. The authors of each Handbook have produced a guide for you wherever the patient is encountered, whether in an out-patient clinic, urgent care, emergency department, or on the wards.
