ABCDs of Emergency Medicine - 9th Edition Hardback

The ABCDs of Emergency Medicine is an invaluable resource for bedside clinical care and continuing professional development. The book provides immediate access to clinical tools, guidelines, drug doses, infusion protocols and clinical information required for the management of the acutely ill patient. 

The ninth edition explores many of the exciting developments in acute care including the growing experience with bedside ultrasound, the wider use of humidified high flow nasal prong (cannula) therapy (HFNP) and the increasing awareness of the role of human factors in resuscitation. New chapters have been added on topics as diverse as clinical simulation, zero point survey, urogenital and neonatal emergencies, approaches to ED overcrowding and Access block and of course an entire new section on the topic of COVID-19.

The book is written in a style that aids reflective learning. Each chapter provides a succinct, easily readable overview of the clinical information on a topic and includes key learning points. The book is closely integrated with the cased based and clinical eLearning resources developed on the LearnEM website. The book will be useful for a wide range of health professionals working in acute care including medical officers, nurses, paramedics and students.
