CLINICAL EMERGENCY MEDICINE CASEBOOK

Unlike the comparatively calm and orderly world of many specialties and

subspecialties in medicine, emergency medicine is not divided into speciﬁc

areas of practice. Emergency patients come in all shapes and sizes, at any

time of day or night, with a wide range and acuity of maladies. Emergency

physicians must become experts in diverse areas of medicine. They are

required to make prompt, informed and often lifesaving decisions about

patient care. A cornerstone of emergency medicine training is the constant

study of clinical scenarios and simulated cases. This book offers a unique

yet underutilized strategy for learning: a case-based approach from real

patients and actual events. Each case provides the opportunity for learning

essential clinical concepts. Focused exclusively on the needs of emergency

physicians in training, students and nurses, the book covers more than 100

common and unusual emergency medicine case scenarios. The procedures

and learning have been class-tested by the Stanford/Kaiser EM Residency

Program and are supplemented with high-quality clinical photographs and

images.
