Clinical Procedures in Emergency Medicine

I am an attending physician in Emergency Medicine, and through residency and even today, I have used this reference more than any other. It is a must have for anyone in the field. It would be extremely helpful for anyone in primary care as well

This is an excellent book. As an ER resident, I have found this book to be invaluable in helping me to understand the procedures that I am trying to learn. This text also does more than just explain how to do the procedures; it also gives plenty of background on the underlying disease processes, the indications for the procedure, etc. I would also mention that, even though this text is geared toward ER...I think any physician who performs a wide variety of procedures from suturing to intubating to IV access to chest tubes may find this book to be quite useful. Would definitely recommend this book and refer to it quite often myself.

I've purchased every edition of this invaluable resource. I do work in a busy, high-acuity ED, but also consider this if you're a family doc in a rural area where you might be called upon to perform a life saving procedure that you haven't seen since residency. Now if they'd just publish a pocket PC edition.......

This book lays out everything you need to know in a concise, easy to follow format. If only it wasnt so friggin gigantic. So whether you need to run to the office to brush up on a procedure you havent attempted since your second year of residency or you need something heavy to bash the hell out of a Ganglion cyst (please dont actually do that), this is a great tool.

I am an EMT working toward a degree in nursing or PA. I saw this book being used in the ER at UVA Medical Center and had to have it. It has been a great learning tool for me. I would recomend anyone practicing emergency medicine to add this book to your library.
