Reihe: Evidence-Based Medicine

Emergency physicians assess and manage a wide variety of problemsfrom patients presenting with a diversity of severities, rangingfrom mild to severe and life-threatening. They are expected tomaintain their competency and expertise in areas where there israpid knowledge change.
Evidence-based Emergency Medicine is the first book ofits kind in emergency medicine to tackle the problems practicingphysicians encounter in the emergency setting using anevidence-based approach. It summarizes the published evidenceavailable for the diagnosis and treatment of common emergencyhealth care problems in adults. Each chapter contextualizes a topicarea using a clinical vignette and generates a series of keyclinically important diagnostic and treatment questions. Bycompleting detailed reviews of diagnostic and treatment research,using evidence from systematic reviews, RCTs, and prospectiveobservational studies, the authors provide conclusions andpractical recommendations.
Focusing primarily on diagnosis in areas where evidence fortreatment is well accepted (e.g. DVTs), and treatment in otherdiseases where diagnosis is not complex (e.g. asthma), this text iswritten by leading emergency physicians at the forefront ofevidence-based medicine. Evidence-based Emergency Medicineis ideal for emergency physicians and trainees, emergencydepartment staff, and family physicians specialising in the acutecare of medical and injured patients.
