Reviews


This hardback textbook is one of the Expert Consult Title range. It covers a huge range of clinical conditions and is well illustrated with clinical photographs, x-ray films, diagrams and clinical pathways. The language is straightforward and the clinical decision pathways are clear. The demonstration of the three recognised techniques for the creation of a cricothyrotomy is the best I have seen, using photographs of cadavers rather than diagrams. I am struggling to find any areas to improve on in this text which has already become my standard reference work in the ED.

"The online versions and supplements are user-friendly and a welcome addition to emergency medicine practitioners, educators, and students alike. Altogether, I find this text a worthy contribution to the young and vibrant specialty of emergency medicine."
JAMA, July 2009
