Pocket Emergency Medicine

This handy pocket-sized looseleaf reference contains the essential information that residents and medical students in the emergency department need to have at their fingertips. The first section covers 57 chief complaints in alphabetical order; other sections cover trauma, pediatric emergencies, environmental exposures, and airway management. Information is presented in concise, rapid-access format, with easy-to-scan bulleted lists and tables. Chapters follow a standard structure–history, classic findings, critical studies, ED interventions, pearls, and references. The six-ring binder can accommodate the student’s or resident’s own notes.

Pocket Emergency Medicine is also available electronically for handheld computers. See PDA listing for details.
