This handbook accompanies the first edition of our text Pediatric
Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide. The purpose
of the handbook is to provide an on-the-spot summary of the
clinical problem for the student, resident, or clinician. The handbook
does not replace the text. Rather, it addresses the need for
a more portable reference for its audience.
Because the handbook was developed after the text, we were
able to update some of the material and references. In particular,
the chapters on Congestive and inflammatory diseases of the heart
and immunoprophylaxis have recent updates included (see, e.g.,
Appendixes A and B). For the most part, though, the handbook
is a condensation of the fuller text and serves as a good introduction
to pediatric EM. Readers looking for a more in-depth analysis
should consult Pediatric Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive
Study Guide.
As we are now preparing material for the next edition of the
book, we welcome reader’s comments on the text and handbook.
It is our intention that both books evolve in response to the changes
in pediatric emergency medicine and to the needs of our readers. |
