Pocket Emergency Paediatric Care

Designed for carrying in the pocket, this invaluable little book provides instant information on management of infants and children in emergency situations. From recognition of the sick child to dealing with life threatening trauma, it covers all the major conditions likely to be encountered in the emergency department or at the site of an accident. Especially suitable for those working in poor countries and war zones, the trauma section carries information on such problems as gunshot wounds and emergency treatment of fractures and amputation. In addition, the basics of neonatal and paediatric life support are included, in line with the internationally adopted procedures of the Advanced Paediatric Life Support courses.
