Libri di Stephen Ludwig

Featuring over 400 full-color photographs, this atlas is a visual guide to the diagnosis and management of pediatric emergencies and acute conditions. It's an indispensable reference in the emergency department, or in the pediatric clinic where rapid diagnosis depends on accurate physical observations. Sections organized by body region/system cover acute medical problems, medical and surgical emergencies, and trauma, including child abuse. Each chapter begins with a brief overview of the type of emergency, presenting signs and symptoms, and differential diagnosis. Photographs showing specific emergencies comprise the bulk of each chapter and are accompanied by discussions of patient presentation, diagnostic studies, and management.

This handbook is a condensed, portable, rapid-reference version of Fleisher and Ludwig's "Textbook of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Fourth Edition", one of the most widely respected books in the field. In a format designed for quick bedside consultation, the Synopsis presents the most essential clinical information from the Textbook's chapters on life-threatening emergencies, signs and symptoms, medical emergencies, trauma, surgical emergencies, and psychosocial emergencies. Each Synopsis chapter covers evaluation, differential diagnosis, physical examination, and management. The 66 signs and symptoms are in alphabetical order and medical emergencies, surgical emergencies, and trauma are organized by body system.
