Reviews
This hardback textbook is one of the Expert Consult Title range. It covers a huge range of clinical conditions and is well illustrated with clinical photographs, x-ray films, diagrams and clinical pathways. The language is straightforward and the clinical decision pathways are clear. The demonstration of the three recognised techniques for the creation of a cricothyrotomy is the best I have seen, using photographs of cadavers rather than diagrams. I am struggling to find any areas to improve on in this text which has already become my standard reference work in the ED.
Dr. Steven Bush, Unividas, December 2008
"The online versions and supplements are user-friendly and a welcome addition to emergency medicine practitioners, educators, and students alike. Altogether, I find this text a worthy contribution to the young and vibrant specialty of emergency medicine."
JAMA, July 2009
