Hosszú leírás:

Covering everything from airway management and ventilation, wound care, and cardiac procedures to resuscitation, diagnostic imaging, and sedation, Roberts and Hedges’ Clinical Procedures in Emergency Medicine and Acute Care, Eighth Edition, provides the practical, highly visual information you need in emergency medicine and acute care practice. Comprehensive, detailed, and up to date, this copiously illustrated reference describes in detail both the common and uncommon procedures you’re likely to consider (how, why, when to, and when not to perform them), as well as recommends other emergency or acute care procedures that may be an option. For clinicians at all levels of experience, this fully revised 8th Edition remains the most well-known and trusted procedures manual in its field.

• Covers the latest equipment, devices, drug therapies, and techniques you need to know for the effective practice of emergency medicine and acute care
• Includes Procedure Boxes that depict entire procedures at a glance, functioning as a mini-atlas that allows you to quickly grasp how to perform a procedure
• Contains more than 3,500 images, including new color photographs, Ultrasound Boxes, and new algorithms
• Covers hot topics such as evaluation of patients with implantable devices, management of patients with cardiac assist devices, and care of patients after cosmetic procedures, as well as procedures performed by acute care practitioners such as sedation of the agitated patient, alternate methods of drug delivery, and common errors and complications in the acute care setting
• Includes over 250 video clips (many new to this edition) demonstrating key procedures and techniques
• An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
