Infos

Revised edition of a leading educational resource on acute medicine, updated with existing guidance and new, exciting areas of research

Acute Medicine is a quick reference guide that details a comprehensive range of acute medical emergencies affecting different organ systems with the latest guidelines and evidence for management of these emergencies. It includes discussions around location of care, including principles of ambulatory care or same day emergency care and the different services that are in place to provide acute care within the community (e.g. hospital at home).

The book adopts a unique approach to clinical assessment by outlining key priorities during acute critical periods, along with ongoing management considerations after diagnosis and initial treatment.

This new edition covers the latest research and applications in this rapidly developing field, such as point-of-care ultrasound, its role in frontline medicine, and its use in clinical assessment.

Contributed to by experts in their fields sharing the latest and ground-breaking best clinical practice, Acute Medicine includes information on:

• Hypotension and shock, reduced consciousness level, delirium, and falls in older people
• Acute chest pain, palpitations, transient loss of consciousness, acute breathlessness and respiratory failure, and pleural effusion
• Acute headaches, seizures and epilepsy, weakness and paralysis, acute sensory symptoms, and loss of vision
• Acute upper and lower gastrointestinal bleeding, alcoholic hepatitis, urinary tract infections, and acute liver failure
• Cellulitis and necrotizing fasciitis, erythroderma and toxic epidermal necrolysis, septic arthritis, acute vasculitis, and acute gout and pseudogout

Acute Medicine serves as an excellent one-stop reference for practitioners in the field, physicians, residents, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician associates, and many more. It may also be used as a revision aid for those in undergraduate or postgraduate education.
