Review

"Review from previous edition: Having recently purchased the new Oxford Handbook of Accident and Emergency Medicine, I would like to say that it is an excellent update. As a Specialist Registrar . . . I am involved in training all new AandE doctors and will recommend this book highly." --Dr Reshad Khodabocus, St James's Hospital, Leeds, July 2005"The 1st edition (published 1999) has become the "Bible" of Emergency care for many practitioners working in this field - Doctors, Nurses, Paramedics etc... I used it throughout my Specialist Registrar training as both an "on the spot" diagnostic tool but also as a reference aid for my FRCS and FFAEM. There's a lot more in it than you think! The second edition has built on and consolidated all that was good in the 1st edition but added some new sections and expanded others. It includes up to date information and references... I would not only recommend but also INSIST that all practitioners... in emergency care read and used this handbook. It would also be useful to Doctors in almost all specialties including General Practice, General Surgery and General Medicine." --Medical Defence Union"...an essential book of reference...[and] an indispensable tool and survival guide to anyone working within emergency medicine...[it should be] accessible and in easy reach of all staff working within the emergency department." --Accident and Emergency Nursing Journal"...this book is a must-have for anyone wanting to become the next doctor to ride in the shiny red HEMS helicopter on his/her way to an emergency...Stimulating reading for anyone interested in emergency medicine." --MAD (Barts and the London Med Student Journal)

Book Description

This handbook provides practical, accessible guidelines on a huge range of situations that present to the emergency department. Deliberately precise and prescriptive, it gives up-to-date step-by-step advice on presentation, investigation, diagnosis, emergency treatment and further referral for adult and paediatric patients.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best pocket emergency medicine book

Probably one of the best pocket and quick reference books for Emergency Medicine. It goes directly to the point and has all the major subjects for both the adult and the pediatric patient. Up to date in all the information for today 2012. Don't hesitate to get it for either studying or as a reference for work.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book is nice to read and well laid out
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2017

This book is nice to read and well laid out. Lots of scoring systems and theoretical background. But it assumes access to subspecialties and so doesn't cover some treatment plans (eg. Rabies vaccination schedule). It's a good read, but not helpful at 2am with a decompensating patient.

I brought this book to my ED rotations, and not soon after I have seen other people buy the same book. It covers most everything you are likely to meet in ED. It will not replace Up To Date, but it's a great little guide.

Forget the bulky American Paramedic textbooks. This fits in your pocket and covers all the ALS protocols.

Paper quality is very thin, unsuitable for highlighters. You will eventually need another EM book to supplement this Oxford EM, i.e this book doesn't give all details.

I used this book as a reference book in my practice as a Nurse Practitioner, it is so well written and easy to use in day-to-day practice that I doubt I could have gone through the past 10 years without it. I had a hard copy but lost it and felt that I had lost a good friend from my practice. I had to get another.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr empfehlenswert...
Reviewed in Germany on February 3, 2016

... wie alle Oxford Handbooks! Einfach nicht zu vergleichen mit Lehrbüchern dieser Art aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum. Es wird viel deteillierter und trotzdem einfach verständlich auf wichtige klinische Aspekte eingegangen. Diese Bücher lesen sich fast wie Geschichten, weil sie nicht nur wichtige Dinge auflisten, wie so manches andere Lehrbuch.
Geeignet sowohl als Kitteltaschenkompane, als auch als Gute-Nacht-Lektüre zum Schmökern zuhause.
Ich bin begeistert!

4.0 out of 5 stars non male
Reviewed in Italy on July 5, 2014
Verified Purchase
Libro molto esaustivo, prende in considerazione moltissime delle patologie mediche/traumatiche che si presentano in PS. Purtroppo non approfondisce temi importanti (stemi, acls...), però affronta argomenti spesso tralasciati o sottovalutati (ortopedia, ferite...). Parte introduttiva sulle problematiche personali-interpersonali-giuridiche del PS.
Qualità alta, forse non indirizzato a studenti di medicina ma a laaureati. Io infatti da ex studente di medicina avrei preferito qualcosa che affrontasse maggiormente le patologie più importanti e comuni.
