Editorial Reviews

Spanning the entire pediatric age range and the gamut of medical and surgical conditions of every organ system, the textbook provides the opportunity for critical life support interventions as well as a full range of diagnostic and therapeutic ambulatory care challenges. Sections cover the general care of the pediatric patient in the emergency and acute care settings; discussions of medical and trauma life support procedures; methods of sedation and anesthesia; procedures relevant to managing neonatal emergencies that may require intervention in the ED; procedures classified by disorders of the various major organ systems; and more generic emergency procedures, including those related to minor outpatient procedures, bedside laboratory investigations, toxicologic and environmental exposures, the use of ultrasonography, and pediatric transport procedures.
